Ok, I'll add that

Most files have a MIT-license/disclaimer, a few files reference GNU GPL 
(Intel-Systems/common/i8088.c), at least one file is paritally 
zlib/libpng license (sim_video.c, line 102), one file is "licensed under 
the standard SimH license" (PDP11/pdp11_kmc.c), which seems to be MIT.

There's a Word .doc file doc/simh.doc that states:

COPYRIGHT NOTICE: The following copyright notice applies to the SIMH 
source, binary, and documentation (an then: MIT license)

An older PDF version is online:
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_doc.pdf

Should I point to the simh.doc file?
