Comment:

 Based on the content listed at:

         http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Collections

 Biology-9.xol

 Missing LICENSES file though README does contain "All media licensed under
 the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license, save where otherwise
 specified."

 ICDL-8.xol

 LICENSES file, "Rights to these books are owned by ICDL.  They are a
 combination of public domain and other books acquired by the ICDL through
 discussions with individual authors.  Each book indicates its license
 details on its title or description page."

 JamendoMusic-5.xol

 No LICENSES file or any copyright information that I can find.

 NatureImages-8.xol

 Detailed license information for each image given in credits.html.

 TranslationDictionary-8.xol

 No LICENSES file or any copyright information that I can find (pitty,
 looks like a great set of information!).

 Wikibooks-8.xol

 Hidden down in Wikibooks/books/extras/fdl.html is a GNU Free Documentation
 License, I'm no lawyer but seems to read OK.

 WikisliceChemistry-en-8.xol

 Hidden down in WikisliceChemistry-en/index.html is a GNU Free
 Documentation License, I'm no lawyer but seems to read OK.

 WorldDigitalLibrary-5

 No LICENSES file or any copyright information that I can find.

 WorldFactbookMaps-6.xol

 README says, "All materials in this collection are in the Public Domain.
 Updated with better images." No other license information that I can see.

 Icdl-5.xol (Storybooks : from the International Children's Digital
 Library)

 Some Copyright information shown in each of the current 2 books, but no
 LICENSES file.

 Web_design-3.xol (Web design : An introduction to html, javascript and
 elements of web design)

 Copyright link and notice at bottom of pages, but no LICENSES file

 Wikibooks-4.xol (out of date, should be removed)

 Hidden down in Wikibooks/books/extras/fdl.html is a GNU Free Documentation
 License, I'm no lawyer but seems to read OK.

 Little-brother-1.xol

 little-brother.activity/index.html starts with a Creative Commons
 Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license.

 Wikislice-en-2.xol

 Hidden down in wikislice-en/index.html is a GNU Free Documentation
 License.

 It's a real mess if you expect folks to have a happy/shiny conformist
 LICENSES file, only one so far... About 50% through the list so far, more
 later.
