I see most files have a comment saying license is gpl 3.0. So as far as
I can tell, there is a clear indication the authors intend it to be free
and gpl, nothing indicating they intended any part to be proprietary. I
think these are extremely common mistakes, so generally, we should
consider it a mistake and free and file a bug and leave it in the
directory.
The bug would say: please specify "or later" vs "only" and include the
license file and include notices in all files, and write a license
declaration in the readme that covers any files that are missing a
license notice. I'd also make a note in the directory entry, in the
license section.
I don't see a place to file a bug, so it seems you'd need to track down
some contact info for the authors.
