In jed-extra, currently all modes are under the GPL.
Attached is a list produced with a grep for Copyright.
All modes have a copyright note including creator and date, either in the
source or in the dcdata.txt file.
If Paul could make sure there is a copyright date for occur.sl, we could
* state that all modes are GPL
* list authors
* refer to the sources for details

There is some interesting stuff to see in this example:
* The bulk of the files (i.e. all with GPL and copyright by Shai Ayal)
is not listed with copyright date. Nor does a general date appear for
non-exceptional files.
