If the answers to these questions about BOTH Ms Curtis-Taylor AND Mr Gritsch's licences are that they were not properly licensed, presumably that means they would also have been flying without valid insurances, at least during some parts of the flight? Given Ms Curtis-Taylor's apparent propensity for breaking things, perhaps we should all breath a sigh of relief?
That said, I find it a bit hard to believe that Mr Gritsch wouldn't have been properly licensed as he restores and maintains a number of these aircraft many of which I would guess are N-reg and which he would need to fly.
