Different people writing different files at different times making 
different interpretations of the same rule.

Also, sometimes it happens that a file will start as 
trivial/non-trivial, and then later modifications will change it to 
non-trivial/trivial, but the patcher doesn't bother to add/remove the 
copyright notice.  Just like sometimes people forget to change the date 
in the copyright notice.

There isn't much point in asking why this happens.  If it bothers you, 
then fix it.  If it doesn't bother you, then don't worry about it.
