Well, if they are really "unclicenesed" they are undistributeable, so
you cannot have them in the package at all. Not even in non-free.
This is as copyright law defaults to "all rights reserved" in most
countries, and "all" includes distribution as well etc. 

Maybe upstream just meant "same license as the remaining files"?
Or they just not aware that an unlicensed file causes trouble?
