I would say you are not *removing* the notices, you are simply moving them to a 
different location.  In particular, I'm presuming that there will still be a 
LICENSE or COPYING file somewhere.  In any case, there's thing called the 
Internet where people can get information :-). 

I would encourage that originating developers only do this, but more because 
they might not come to the same conclusion, AND there's the risk that the 
header-manipulation software might have defects.
