This feels like a relic from the pre-git days, the licence file at the top level is sufficient and covers from a legal point of view (pretty sure)

Pretty sure that is only part of the GPL.

Oh, I see! You want to remove

# author: Nicolas Tessore <[email protected]>
# license: MIT

from the existing files? Fine by me!

I thought you wanted to add a blurb like

# Heracles: Euclid code for harmonic-space statistics on the sphere
#
# Copyright (C) 2023-2024 Euclid Science Ground Segment
#
# This file is part of Heracles.
#
# Heracles is free software: you can redistribute ...

to all files.
