Basically, for copyright purposes, there are only two categories, trivial
files and non-trivial files. Non-trivial files should have copyright and
license notices. The legal status of anything the tarball contains should be
clear.

I'm not sure [//www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Expat what 'MIT'
license means], it's ambiguous. Historically, MIT released software under
many various licenses.
If it's a short permissive license, then
[//savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices#other-licenses it should be
included entirely]; in such cases, the license coincides with the license
notice.

No.
[//www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html
Some GNU packages are FSF-copyrighted, and other are not].

Let us return to this question when the original task is done.
