Ncurses license notices

I was just flipping through the ncurses files and found a bunch without
license notices (and a few with bogus notices).  test/* are missing
notices.  form/fty_* has the following notice:


* THIS CODE IS SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTED FROM THE NCURSES PACKAGE COPYRIGHT.
* You may freely copy it for use as a template for your own field types.
* If you develop a field type that might be of general use, please send
* it back to the ncurses maintainers for inclusion in the next version.

This seems to permit *less* than the simple permissive license that most
of the rest of ncurses under -- specifically, it doesn't allow
distribution.  

Many of the files that aren't .c, .cc or .h files are missing notices
too.

If you have questions about how to fix this, please feel free to contact
me.
