  1. license: removes copyright year and uses SPDX ID 

    As a small project, we have to conserve resources and not sign up for work that isn't required. I've recently realized many [commercial](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/main/command/cli/cli.go#L1-L2) and/or [CNCF projects](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/blob/main/api/all/src/main/java/io/opentelemetry/api/trace/Tracer.java#L1-L4) both use SPDX IDs and also don't bother with copyright year. If their legal team is ok with this, surely a volunteer team without access to one should be, too!

Doing so accomplishes the following, all of which help volunteers:
* significantly increases readability of files, particularly small ones
* removes beginning of year maintenance, which cause a lot of FUD last year. IIRC some deployment failed and hours were spent in spite of docs.
* eliminates the need to do a full source check out, just to satisfy the license plugin. This means we can use actions/checkout defaults.
