All software files should be released under a free software license and all other files should be released under a libre license.

I believe it already is, though not super well advertised upfront on/by github: https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion/blob/b3cfab2a6302b3b39f53d9fd2cd997e1127d7878/doc/easymotion.txt#L1165-L1190

Perhaps you could open a pull request adding a LICENCE file and/or note in the readme? ;)

(This part is totally an aside, but I don't really wanna leave this unaddressed...

All software files should be released under a free software license and all other files should be released under a libre license.

I don't believe you intended to be rude, or impolite, or whatever the exact words for it would be, bur I humbly ask you to take thought before making comments like this. As it happens, I think you and the dev seem on a similar wavelength actually, but we do have differences of opinions to one degree or another on these matters a lot of the time, and to come onto somebody's project and start preaching for your interpretations and making demands can seem quite, well, insulting, to be blunt.

Asking is more than fine. Suggesting a LICENCE file in the root of the repo would be ideal. But you gotta ask yourself before making proclamations... What have I put out today? When did I last troubleshoot, or bug report, or push? Maybe it's 'tone policing', but I think we could do with being a tad less brusk with the evangelism sometimes... )
