Just to confirm the parameters of this review, are you assuming that any
file not explicitly licensed falls under the GPL of Emacs? Or should we
flag files which have no explicit license? Quite a number of the files
in etc/ have no explicit license.
Also, etc/MOTIVATION contains:

with no license notice given, and authorization to reprint does not
necessarily include authorization to modify.
