Looking in ELinks 0.13.GIT:

acinclude.m4: some macros "can be copied and used freely without restrictions"
aclocal.m4: must preserve notice
config/config.guess: GPLv2 or later, plus special exception
config/config.sub: GPLv2 or later, plus special exception
config/install-sh: MIT
config/m4/gettext.m4: "can be copied and used freely without restrictions"
config/m4/lcmessage.m4: "can be copied and used freely without restrictions"
config/m4/progtest.m4: "can be copied and used freely without restrictions"
config/missing: GPLv2 or later
config/mkinstalldirs: Public domain
configure: "unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it" from FSF,
	but this is also derived from configure.in, which I presume is GPLv2
contrib/conv/mailcap.pl: GPLv2 or later
contrib/debian/rules: "GNU copyright 1997 to 1999 by Joey Hess",
	whatever that means
contrib/LinksOS2Icon.zip: part public domain
contrib/links_wps.zip: part GPLv2 or later
COPYING: changing the text of GPLv2 is not allowed
doc/manual.txt: "Hold blameless the authors.  Any lawful use is allowed."
	which I think also applies to the files included from there, 
        except perhaps to {builddir}features.txt which is derived from
        features.conf.
doc/tools/asciidoc/: GPLv2 or later
doc/tools/help2xml: ISC licence
po/perl/Locale/PO.pm: "same terms as Perl itself", i.e. GPLv1 or later
	or Artistic License
po/perl/msgaccel-check: ISC licence
po/perl/msgaccel-prepare: ISC licence
src/: I didn't look there
test/align.html: from www.czech-tv.cz, no explicit license, so you may have
	to remove this
test/bigtextarea.html: changing the text of GPLv2 is not allowed
test/color.html: possibly derived from rgb.txt of X11?
test/css/idnes_mail.html: apparently from idnes.cz, no explicit license,
	so you may have to remove this
test/erreurs_en.htm: unclear origin, no explicit license, so you may have
	to remove this
test/javascript_broken.html: presumably from www.hotjobs.com, no explicit
	license, so you may have to remove this
test/optgroup.html: apparently from iccl.fi, no explicit license,
	so you may have to remove this, unless the author is willing
	to grant one (I asked a few minutes ago)
test/poocs.net.html: presumably from poocs.net, no explicit license, so you
	may have to remove this
Unicode/8859_10.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_14.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_16.cp: "Copyright (c) 1991-2001 Unicode, Inc.  All Rights reserved."
        but <http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/8859-16.TXT> seems
        pretty similar (however not equivalent) and comes with an actual licence
Unicode/8859_3.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_5.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_6.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_7.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_8.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/8859_9.cp: some Unicode Consortium licence
Unicode/cp1250.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp1256.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp1257.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp437.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp737.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp850.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp852.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/cp866.cp: from Microsoft, no explicit license, but they
	publish similar cross-mapping tables at www.unicode.org
	so it's hard to imagine them complaining about this
Unicode/entities.txt: public domain
