[GNU Crypto] GNU-Crypto licensing

GNU-Crypto's web page and messages on gnu-crypto-discuss say the 
license is gpl-with-exception, but the COPYING file in the distribution says 
gpl.

I checked the source:

    #!/bin/sh

    javafiles=`find . -name "*.java"`
    for f in $javafiles; do

        if grep -qi "As a special exception, the copyright holders" $f ; then
            echo -n gpl-with-exception

        elif grep -qi "GNU General Public License" $f ; then
            echo -n gpl

        elif grep -qi "Legion Of The Bouncy Castle" $f ; then
            echo -n "bouncy castle"

        else
            echo -n unknown
        fi

        echo  " license:" $f

    done

It looks like the licenses are gpl-with-exception, or the bouncy castle 
license which is compatible, except for

    source/gnu/testlet/config.java
    source/gnu/testlet/Testlet.java
    source/gnu/testlet/SimpleTestHarness.java
    source/gnu/testlet/TestHarness.java
    source/gnu/testlet/ResourceNotFoundException.java

which are gpl, and

    jce/javax/crypto/NullCipher.java

which has no license, or copyright notice for that matter.

I'm assuming the non-source files are gpl since that's what COPYING says.

Is this right?

Doug
