My understanding is that Guix's practice is to list the overall license or 
licenses of a package, not every permissive license that might apply to 
particular files.

While that file uses the original license header, it's effectively BSD-3-Clause, 
because the University of California retroactively deleted the advertising 
clause in 1999: see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/bsd.html> and <ftp://
ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change>.

libobjc2 is Expat-licensed—I will look into whether it can be unbundled, but 
it's not a license issue.
