i am intending to include that file to a library of mine which is
released under the bsd license.
Usually, souch source code file would contain something like
/*
 * Copyright (c) 2017 Dmitry Goncharov
 *
 * Distributed under the BSD License.
 * (See accompanying file COPYING).
 */

Do i understand it correctly, that in my copy of this new file that is
assigned to the FSF, i'll remove the
copyright part and the header becomes
/*
 * Distributed under the BSD License.
 * (See accompanying file COPYING).
 */
and whoever is using that library can keep using it under the BSD license?

regards, Dmitry
