Sorry if I misunderstood, the intention of the author is clearly to licence
the work as gpl, but some files are missing the gpl clause. Also a copy of
the license is omitted. It is mandated by term 1 of gpl. If this partial
application of gpl makes this a free software, then sorry for the noise. In
case this software is ok for upstream, and is not packaged yet, then I
would be happy to contribute a package.
