I would guess that a version 7 source license is all thats needed for 4.1BSD
and a System V license (or maybe III) for 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD.

It all depends on what bits and pieces of AT&T code are in the final release.
You progress from Version 6, 7, System III, V, etc. with each higher level
source license emcompassing all the lower levels.  If a single bit of System III
code is in a version 7 kernel, you must have a System III license, its just that
simple.  Maybe not, maybe we will never know until some poor jerk lands
him/herself in court and we see how the court decides.  I don't want to be that
jerk.
