[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

These files contain no license headers, and in some cases, no copyright
holders. Folds who either ddeclared copyright in these files or
otherwise mentioned in the licensing headers are CCed.

  doc/package-hello.scm

Arguably, maybe not really sufficiently creative to qualify for
copyright...


 gnu/packages/aux-files/findclass.php
 * Composer (and thus this file) is distributed under the expat license, and
 * ClassMapGenerator.php also contains this notice:
 *
 *   This file is part of Composer.

 *       Jordi Boggiano <j.boggiano <at> seld.be>

 *   file that was distributed with this source code.
 *
 *   This file is copied from the Symfony package.

 *   (c) Fabien Potencier <fabien <at> symfony.com>
 * 
 * To the extent to wich it makes sense, as the author of the extract:
 * Copyright © 2020 Julien Lepiller <julien <at> lepiller.eu>

The LICENSE file is not present ... so what is the exact text of the
"expat" license, as there are many permutations in the wild?


  gnu/packages/dotnet.scm

Neither copyright nor license delcaration.


  gnu/packages/power.scm

No license declaration, copyright by from Raven Hallsby
<karl <at> hallsby.com> and Tomas Volf <~@wolfsden.cz>.


 gnu/packages/python-graphics.scm

Again, no license declaration, but a list of copyright holders including
Adam Kandur <kefironpremise <at> gmail.com>, Daniel Meißner
<daniel.meissner-i4k <at> ruhr-uni-bochum.de>, Morgan Smith
<Morgan.J.Smith <at> outlook.com>, Adam Faiz <adam.faiz <at> disroot.org>, Simon
Tournier <zimon.toutoune <at> gmail.com>, and Sharlatan Hellseher
