Yes, there are.  I expect there are several trivial files without
any copyright notices (and which are public domain) but I just now
audited gnulib for files that are copyright by someone other than the
FSF and found the following.  Most seem benign, but the last entry
may be problematic.

build-aux/install-sh is copyrighted by X Consortium with an MIT license.

build-aux/po/Makefile.in.in is copyrighted by Ulrich Drepper and
"can be copied and used freely without restrictions" (effectively
public domain)

lib/fts_.h, lib/fts.c, lib/random_r.c are copyright by the Regents of the
University of California with a modified BSD license.

lib/cosl.h, lib/asinl.c, lib/sinl.c, lib/acosl.c, lib/trigl.c,
lib/tanl.c, are copyright Sun Microsystems with an MIT-like license.

are copyright Unicode, Inc. under the Unicode Terms of Use

terms don't seem to allow changes, which would not be free software.
