Did you ask RMS about programs with no license headers or programs that
happen to not include a copy of the license? 

If GPL headers are there, then the author has probably just forgotten to
include a copy of the license and usually a note will clear that up. If
you've got programs with no headers at all or just a smattering of BSD
and MIT, then I don't think you can assume that those programs are
free.
