You can't have a licence unless some rights are restricted without it.
If there really is no intellectual property in the components you
mention, they don't need, and can't have a licence.
Also note that, in the UK, some of your examples would be protected by
copyright law (database copyrights).

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
