[1] is the ScanCode rule that encodes a header similar to what Thanh mentions (although ScanCode has some other EPL-1.0 rules as well). I'm in favor of documenting those standard headers (when they are recommended by the license steward) in SDPX. The Eclipse docs at [2] currently recommend EPL-2.0 and, more importantly for us, an SPDX-License-Identifier entry. As long as you're willing to trust that entry, you can skip over the rest of the header completely.
