Have you checked your opinion holds water on legal discuss? Oracle (for one) currently thinks otherwise and has been dragging Android though the courts for years over a very similar issue (although it look likely they will not prevail). Also this is not a clean room implementation [1] but one generated by applying patches to the original 3rd party licensed code so I would rather err on the side of caution and leave the header in. Even if that is not required it not a licensing error to do so (and no harm done) and omitting may be an issue and could (though unlikely) have risks.
