I did a bit of work on this, and there are now 31 files remaining. Some of them (see my recent email on unlicensed tools) appear to be just oversights that will involve tracking down and emailing the original author. Others just have a header that is non-standard/malformed and can be easily fixed.
Some of them are more complicated: - packet-vj.c appears to be illegal for us to use, it seems to include All Rights Reserved code from Qualcomm. - packet-ieee80211-radiotap-iter.c is only available under GPL2 (as opposed to GPL2+, like the rest of Wireshark) so I'm not sure if it is compatible or not. - epan/reedsolomon.[ch] appears to be only under the *original* GPL, so I have no idea. (I am not a lawyer.) I am tempted to add the remaining list to the "ignore" set, just so we start getting emails when new files fail license-check, however I'm not sure if we'd ever get around to them in that situation...
