Some do have a copyright. Most don't.
access.c : free to .. but include copyright (DJ Delorie)
asctime.c, chmod.c, close.c, ctime.c, fdopen.c, freopen.c, futime.c,
gmtime.c, isalnum.c, isalpha.c, iscntrl.c, isgraph.c, islower.c,
isprint.c, ispunct.c, isspace.c, isupper.c, isxdigit.c, localtime.c,
lseek.c, mktime.c, open.c, read.c, rename.c, strftime.c, tempnam.c,
time.c, _tolower.c, _toupper.c, unlink.c, utime.c, wcsftime.c, write.c :
none
bsearch.c, lfind.c : BSD
chsize.c, findfile.c, mb_cur_max.c, mkdir.c, rmdir.c, stat.c : PD
timeutil.c : free to .. (ruby)
I believe many of the "none" cases are Pedro's. They're from his
2007-02-03 commit. I'll ask him offline (in case he doesn't catch this
message on the list) whether he wrote all of these.

Depending on Pedro's answer. Probably: yes.
The only "gotcha" is in the phrasing of both the DJ Delorie and BSD
licenses : it's very hard to make a binary produce the copyright
messages. So anything linked with this must be shipped with those
copyright messages in separate files.
