Well what I have done is a script that analyses files in a folder
recursively. If they contain some variations of the "GPLv2 or later"
string they are marked as GPLV2. All the rest is marked with a
question mark. It is really a very simple and naive thing but seems to
find a lot of files.

These later files, marked with question marks, needs to be checked
manually for their legal status.

The script also tries to be smart about files that can be safely
ignored. These assumptions needs to be verified too of course.

I haven't checked in the script. I uploaded it to my web site for
feedback. You can have a look at it again! Direct your browser to:

     "http://lidell.homelinux.net/~matsl/xemacs/gplv3/"

You'll find both the script and the output (at that time) there. Note:
The script doesn't know about mercurial.

Yours
