oldXMenu/insque.c
We wrote that specifically for Emacs, so definitely relicense that.
src/regex.c ? part of emacs?
src/regex.h
That forked version is only in Emacs, so definitely relicense that.
These look like parts of glibc, mainly:
rc/getloadavg.c
src/gmalloc.c
src/md5.c ? "part of emacs?"
src/md5.h
src/mktime.c
src/strftime.c
src/termcap.c ? part of emacs?
src/tparam.c ? part of emacs?
config.guess
config.sub
Those are probably Gnulib files. For now, you may as
well leave them alone. We may copy them from Gnulib again.

That was the right thing to do. Anyone can update them to GPLv3+.

We may as well leave this alone, since we are never going to change it
much.
These two seem confusing to me:
etc/vipcard.tex
etc/viperCard.tex
They contain simple licenses which seem fine, but also refer to the
"GNU Emacs GPL". I suggest just changing these two to the standard
Emacs license text.
Would you like to do that?
8. Some non-Emacs icons remain under GPLv2 (no "or later"). See:
etc/images/gnus/README
etc/images/mail/README
etc/images/README
nt/icons/README
Earlier you said that the license info was not clear for some of the
icons. Yesterday I sent you the response from GNOME developers.
What do these files say in their text properties?
