So I'll start with the painful stuff: 

There are bundled libraries in WebCalendar which will need to be packaged
separately.  

Those I have found in my brief initial search: 

hkit ( includes/classes/hKit ) 
http://allinthehead.com/code/hkit/
Illustrating one of the problems with bundled libraries, this particular
library is at 0.4, while upstream has been at 0.5 for at least a year. 

PHPMailer ( includes/classes/phpmailer ) 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer
This appears to be using a version that's almost 6 years old, while upstream
has been releasing as recently as this week. 


captcha ( includes/classes/captcha )
In addition to being a bundled library that needs to be separately packaged:

The original was Public Domain, changes were made by Ray Jones, but with no
indication of how his changes were licensed. While I am sure a very liberal
reading would mean that this is also under public domain, given the difficulty
of actually giving up rights available under copyright, I'd feel better if Ray
Jones communicated a specific license - lets at least try and ask him. 

Interestingly, the link to the freshmeat site no longer works. 




>From a licensing perspective the icon bit below causes me a bit of concern
(includes/menu/index.php):
 * This menu was created using some fantastic free tools out on the internet:
 *  - Most icons by everaldo at http://en.crystalxp.net/ (with his permission )
 *  - Javascript & CSS by JSCookMenu at
http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~heng/JSCookMenu/

That said JSCookMenu at the above location is another bundled lib
