If the idea is that that lists all licenses found anywhere in the package, I guess it is right. Except that they should write GPL-3+ since Emacs is released under "GPL version 3 or any later version". However, in practical terms the license for etags.c is GPLv3. Note that there is also code in Emacs under an old X license in the directory oldXMenu.
