I made a copyright notice in README.txt:

  Copyright
  ---------
  
  If not stated otherwise in the individual file, the modes at Jedmodes are
  free software copyrighted by their respective Creator and released under
  the GNU General Public License (GPL_) 
  
  .. _GPL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html


Would this be ok, should I just copy the GPL to the modedir or create
something in line with u/s/d/jed-commmon/copyright?


I fixed my modes:
 
brief not gpl        Fixed in CVS
csvutils not gpl     Fixed in CVS
cuamark not gpl      Fixed in CVS
cuamouse not gpl     Already Fixed in CVS
dabbrev not gpl      Remove from jed-extra, as now in mainstream
datutils not gpl     Fixed in CVS
ding not gpl         Fixed in CVS
filelist not gpl     Fixed in CVS
kp_keydefs not gpl   Fixed in CVS
navigate not gpl     Already Fixed in CVS
numbuf not gpl       Already Fixed in CVS
print not gpl        Fixed in CVS
templates not gpl    Fixed in CVS
txtutils not gpl     Fixed in CVS

And found that a lot of others are in fact marked as GPL in the metadata files
(and hence in the mode homepages)

bufed not gpl         GPL in dcdata
calc not gpl          GPL in dcdata
custmode not gpl      GPL in dcdata
email not gpl         GPL in dcdata
jedasp not gpl        GPL in dcdata
keywords not gpl      GPL in dcdata
sql not gpl           GPL in dcdata
tar not gpl           GPL in dcdata
temabbrv not gpl      GPL in dcdata

Unfortunately, the inventor of Jedmodes, Francesc Rocher did not
epxlicitely copyright his modes.

css1 not gpl          no explicit copyright
life not gpl          no explicit copyright
make not gpl          no explicit copyright
manedit not gpl       no explicit copyright
md5 not gpl           no explicit copyright
minued not gpl        no explicit copyright
scrnhelp not gpl      superseded by help.sl
vi not gpl            no explicit copyright
