### Licensing
Please match the existing licensing (a dual-license: AFL-2.1 or GPL-2+,
recipient's choice). Entirely new modules can be placed under a more
permissive license: to avoid license proliferation, our preferred
permissive license is the variant of the MIT/X11 license used by the
Expat XML library (for example see the top of tools/ci-build.sh).
Please match the existing licensing, which is generally a dual-license:
AFL-2.1 or GPL-2+, recipient's choice (`AFL-2.1 OR GPL-2.0-or-later`
in SPDX notation).
Entirely new modules can be placed under a more permissive license:
to avoid license proliferation, our preferred permissive license is
the variant of the MIT/X11 license used by the Expat XML library (`MIT`
in SPDX notation), which can be found in LICENSES/MIT.txt. For example,
tools/ci-build.sh is under this license.

The full text of these licenses can be found in LICENSES/AFL-2.1.txt

Some source files are under more permissive BSD-/MIT-style licenses
that are compatible with the AFL and GPL.
When contributing new code, our preferred license for new code is the
version of the MIT/X11 license used by the Expat library, referred to
as "MIT" by SPDX, which can be found in LICENSES/MIT.txt.
Some of the standalone binaries are under the GPL only; in particular,
