I cannot quite connect "some projects do this change" > and "so rather I ask". Are you asking why this project changed it? Nope. I apologize for my czenglish. It means: From my colleagues I hear, that some projects had same differences (tabs vs. spaces) in their copy of the license file and they make it later equivalent with the one in gnu.org. So I ask rather here / point out this difference, if you know about that or you want to have same one. Yes, I know, it's just about whitespaces.
