We don't necessarily have to do everything in one pass. We could keep this round of cleanup strictly to an exact substitution of GPL-1.0-or-later, and do a separate pass at some point in the future to deprecate and remove GPL-1.0 where possible. I'm not sure whether it would be easier to do it all now or save the deprecation for later. I guess we can see how many files match the patterns with no version numbers. (With 5 files it's easy to contact the copyright holders, hundreds would be difficult.) Allison
