@aspura thank you very much for your contribution. I only have a few comments:
In the license text there are the copyright notices included in some cases. Usually we do not include the copyright notices in the license texts. In case it was done in order to reflect the copyright holder of these files (because there is no real copyright notice in the specifc file) I have some doubts about this approach:
- E.g. the files
libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/xsltlocale.h contain the X11 license text with Copyright (C) 2001-2002 Daniel Veillard. All Rights Reserved. but the information in the file is:
Copy: See Copyright for the status of this software.
Author: Nick Wellnhofer
So I am not sure whether Daniel Veillard is the copyright owner of this file. I know that an author is not necessarily the copyright holder, but if my assumption from above is true then you should put here no copyright line in the license text, to avoid any wrong copyright assignment.
The same applies to:
/libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/win32config.h
Copy: See Copyright for the status of this software.
Author: Igor Zlatkovic
libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/xsltlocale.h
Copy: See Copyright for the status of this software.

libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/numbersInternals.h
libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/numbers.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/functions.h
libxslt-v1.1.39/libxslt/functions.c
See Copyright for the status of this software.
daniel@veillard.com
Bjorn Reese breese@users.sourceforge.net for number formatting
Here I am not quite sure whether Daniel Veillard is the only copyright holder.

As examples the following files contain the license text without copyright line but carry the author note from Daniel Veillard (I know that an author is not necessarily the copyright holder, but if my assumption from topic 1 is true then you should put it here to in order to be consistent)
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/testplugin.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/xsltproc/xsltproc.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/xsltproc/testThreads.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/python/types.c
ibxslt-v1.1.39/python/libxslt.c -
The following files are concluded with a license text without copyright statement, but carry in the last paragraph of the license text Daniel Veillard as name, but the files do not contain any author information:
Except as contained in this notice, the name of Daniel Veillard shall not
be used in advertising or otherwise to promote the sale, use or other deal-
ings in this Software without prior written authorization from him.
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/runtest.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/fuzz/genSeed.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/fuzz/xslt.c
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/fuzz/xpath.c

libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/fuzz/fuzz.h
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/fuzz/fuzz.c

setup.py.in is concluded to MIT, in my opinion this is the reference to the "package license" but not the license of this file, although the package license is X11. I would conlude it to NOASSERTION
-
the following files:
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/docbook/result/fo/gdp-handbook.fo
libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/docbook/result/html/gdp-handbook.html
/libxslt-v1.1.39/tests/docbook/result/xhtml/gdp-handbook.xhtml
contain additionally to the GFDL boilerplate the following information:
