I don't know why, but a grep GPL conf/files is really explict: 

conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated csaimg.h header"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated emu10k1 headers"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated emu10kx headers"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated emu10kx headers"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated emu10kx headers"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated maestro3 headers"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated ext2fs filesystem"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated ReiserFS filesystem"
conf/files:     warning "kernel contains GPL contaminated xfs filesystem"

sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/COPYRIGHT.INFO contains more details about ext2fs 
support license.
