Folks should really put a license file in the .xpi ... otherwise we
need to review each individual file and if there is any that doesnt
have an explicit license hint, its not sure.

We probably can remove preference .js files and install.rdf as well as
chrome.manifest from the list of files that require an explicit
copyright, but most authors forget license headers in .xul/xml files.
