Files imported in abiword, and needing the relicensing in priority are
the following (all from the 0.4 branch):

goffice/goffice.h
goffice/goffice.c
goffice/goffice-priv.h
goffice/app/go-cmd-context.c
goffice/app/go-cmd-context.h
goffice/app/go-cmd-context-impl.h
goffice/app/goffice-app.h
goffice/gtk/go-color-group.c
goffice/gtk/go-color-selector.c
goffice/gtk/go-combo-color.c
goffice/gtk/go-palette.c
goffice/gtk/go-color-group.h
goffice/gtk/go-color-selector.h
goffice/gtk/go-combo-color.h
goffice/gtk/go-palette.h
goffice/gtk/go-color-palette.c
goffice/gtk/go-combo-box.c

goffice/gtk/go-combo-box.h
goffice/gtk/goffice-gtk.h
goffice/utils/go-color.c
goffice/utils/go-file.c
goffice/utils/go-glib-extras.h
goffice/utils/go-marshalers.c
goffice/utils/go-color.h

goffice/utils/go-image.c
goffice/utils/go-marshalers.h
goffice/utils/goffice-utils.h

As far as I'm concern, I fully agree with the relicensing.
