Yes sorry, I did not spot the attachment :)
for f in $(cat /tmp/files.txt |cut -f 1 -d ' '); do grep -H "any
later" -i $f; done

Actually that's mixed:
% for f in $(cat /tmp/files.txt |cut -f 1 -d ' '); do grep -H "any
later" -i $f; done

CalculationSettings.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version.
Format.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
FunctionModule.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
any later version.
FunctionModuleRegistry.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version.
ValueCalc.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any
later version.
ValueConverter.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
any later version.
ValueParser.cpp:   version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any
later version.

% for f in $(cat /tmp/files.txt |cut -f 1 -d ' '); do grep -H "; only"
-i $f; done

I think it could be a case for requesting a clean up according to our
rules, based that intention could not have been to have files with
mixed licenses.
