Sure, have a look at e.g.

http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/date_time/xmldoc/posix_time.xml

All by itself this file is ok, as there is a copyright notice in an XML 
comment. However, the generated HTML page ...

http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/date_time/posix_time.html

... only contains a copyright notice, license is absent. No inspect 
failures are reported for the date_time library. IIUC, inspect could 
detect this problem by checking the presence & contents of the 
<legalnotice> section in the boostbook xml.
