Hello, I don't thing greping for the word licence is a good idea. That's not because there's no licence header of any kind that you can make any assumption about its licence. Some applications or librairies doesn't have such headers in their sources. Mmmm... that sounds like Cinelerra, doesn't it? Moreover, some files could contain code from different applications.
