I did some light digging on my own and there are possibly two main
cases that I listed in [1]:
- things that have such a disclaimer but always in the clear context
of a GPL license such as [2]
- things where some BSD-like license terms were removed, but the
disclaimer kept such as [3]
IMHO the first case is a non issue and is clearly GPL. The second
case may require some deeper historical review.
