Upstream Linux never had a "README.legal" file, but it was present in early source releases of Linux/m68k. It contained a simple copyright notice and a link to a version of the "COPYING" file that predated the addition of the "only valid GPL version is v2" clause. Get rid of the references to non-existent files by replacing the boilerplate with SPDX license identifiers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
