There are currently only a small number of directories in that tree
where files named something like `LICENSE', `COPYRIGHT', or
`copyright' exist, and only ONE (bibsearch: see below) is relevant
to TeX / CTAN / TeX-live distributions.

Even where such files exist, those files will likely give copying
permission, possibly subject to restriction to non-commercial
uses.
