I've contacted the authors of emcweb and mongoose to advise on the situation
and asking to relicense. I'll report what comes out of it; just noting
mongoose.* is dual-licensed now so there might be resistance to broaden the
scope of the GPL license variant.

re configs, tests:
In configs/, only three authors mention 'copyright' or 'license' at all (Alex
Joni, Charles, me) in a total of 835 files.
In tests/, the only files mentioning either are comp files which need 'license
"GPL";' or similar, in a total of 737 files..
Adding my minimum license file at 800 bytes could add some 1.2MB of license
statements to these directories worst case.
I think that'd be going overboard. I am with David - adding a license statement
to every file in sight hampers readability, and some of them are really short
like a few lines - if we can do it with a blanket statement per directory I'd
prefer that.
proposal to cut down the text noise:
let's do this by directory with file COPYING like the one in
src/hal/utils/halsh.c ("Copyright 2007-2013, various authors"), and a
README.copying which states all files in and below this directory not
explicitly carrying a license statement are governed by 'COPYING'. Let's start
with configs/ and test/.
