Only the copyright holder who added the notice is permitted to
remove it. ie you can't unilaterally remove Copyright notices
added by other copyright holders. See LICENSE term (4)(c)

While you could undertake an exercise to get agreement from
every copyright holder to remote their notices, its is honestly
not worth the work IMHO.

Copyright assignment is never the correct answer.
