Thanks for surveting some packages.  You've found important information.

  > Some packages have no (explicit) license on documentations,

That is a serious problem, because if the documentation lacks a license,
it is nonfree.

Someone needs to bring this up with the maintainers.
I will ask the assistant GNUisances to do this.

  > LibreJS - no (explicit) license on docs, hosted on Savannah.

I know the maintainer, so I will ask him to fix thta.

  > GNUMP3d - no license on docs, hosted on Savannah, basically dead

Could you be more specific than "basically dead"?
Is it really dead?  Or just getting little maintenance?
Does it have a maintainer?

If it has no maintainer, I can ask the Savannah hackers to fix the lack
of license.

That is ok.

Could you be more specific than "basically dead"?
Is it really dead?  Or just getting little maintenance?
Does it have a maintainer?

What does "assumed GPL?" mean?  That is not a clear description of the
current situation.
