    javacard.project/javahelp/org/netbeans/modules/javacard/project/docs/help/docinfo.html

Contain fairly restrictive license:

~~~~
Except as expressly permitted in your
license agreement or allowed by law, you may not use, copy, reproduce,
translate, broadcast, modify, license, transmit, distribute, exhibit,
perform, publish, or display any part, in any form, or by any means.
Reverse engineering, disassembly, or decompilation of this software, unless
required by law for interoperability, is prohibited.
~~~~

Those terms seems to apply to other files in respective directories.

File:
    java.sourceui/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/api/java/source/ui/FileChooser.html

is explicitly licensed under those terms.

--------

File:
    javascript2.extjs/test/unit/data/testfiles/completion/applyMethod/ClassManager.js

contains the following:

~~~~
Licensees holding valid commercial licenses may use this file in accordance with the Commercial
Software License Agreement provided with the Software or, alternatively, in accordance with the
terms contained in a written agreement between you and Sencha.
~~~~

However no other license is mentioned.

 This document and the technology which it describes are
 distributed under licenses restricting their use, copying,
 distribution, and decompilation. No part of this document
 may be reproduced in any form by any means without prior
 written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any.
~~~~

Same terms are also present in the following files, under
"CDDL or GPL-2 and exception-GPL-Classpath" header:

Files:
    web.jsf/src/org/netbeans/modules/web/jsf/resources/javaee_5.xsd
    web.jsf/src/org/netbeans/modules/web/jsf/resources/javaee_web_services_client_1_2.xsd

--------

File:
    php.editor/test/unit/data/testfiles/parser/performance/performance.php

is from "SMF 1.1" which is non-free according to

    http://www.simplemachines.org/about/opensource.php

~~~~
 The license used for SMF 1.0 and SMF 1.1 is more restrictive than OSI
 approved licenses. That license allows users to modify the source, but does
 not allow them to redistribute or re-release the software without the
 express, written consent of Simple Machines.

contain "SUN PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL. Use is subject to license terms.".

--------

Less important issues include many files with "All Rights Reserved"
but without reference to any particular license as well as files with
(full text of) non-free licenses without scope where they apply:

"nbbuild/licenses/TEL_For_NB_dbxGUI" contains

    "SUN Technology Evaluation License" limiting use of "Sun Studio GUI
     Modules for dbx debugger" to "One-hundred-twenty (120) days".

"nbbuild/licenses/Northwoods" contains

    "3. You may only use the Software in binary form and only in conjunction
     with NetBeans".

Please investigate.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the
results.
