Hi!
Well, in my opinion, these files should contain licensing headers to
avoid confusion about copyright issues.

Hi everygnu,
I'm checking the project 'Machafuco' and wondered about the following
issue:
The program itself is correctly commented with GPL3+ headers, but it also
carries some HTML files which seem to be concatenated at runtime. They
don't
contain such a header. The footer file includes a short line about
CC-BY-NC,
but all the other parts don't (most are longer than 10 lines). Is this
sufficient? The runtime output will contain that line, but the source
files
don't.
What shall I answer? Thank you for your advice!
Yes, if the author is using multiple licenses it needs to be clearly
stated. CC-BY-NC is OK for docs, such as html, though I'd recommend not
using the "NC" component of it, since the GPL allows for commercial usage.
It's worth noting that the CC-BY-* licenses are GPL incompatible if any
code is using it (html is not compiled code, so that's ok)
