I'm not sure this is necessarily a real issue.

licencecheck is great for finding the few added files in a tree that were imported from elsewhere or whatever, but it is not 100% required that every file has its own copyright and licence information in it.

The LICENSE and COPYING files included in the source tarball make the intention of upstream clear: all code files are licenced under the GPLv2.

If there were files from other sources (outside the SWORD project) used that lacked proper licence or copyright we might have an issue, but I don't see anything like that going on.

Looks OK to me, though we could ask upstream to add copyright notices to all files for "next time" :)
