Many (if not most) of our packages omit some license headers, so I don't
think we should count that as a blocker.
As for the missing LICENSE file, that's also suboptimal, but as you say,
the author clearly intends to distribute the work as GPL2+.
One could ask the author the include the LICENSE file, but I think we
can go ahead with adding the software to Guix as it is now.
What do you think? And others, do you think it's okay to go ahead with
packaging this program?
