Even if our code is quite a good documentation for our coding style,
some people seem to prefer a document describing it.

Might this file be a place to document exactly which licenses we
accept code under? I.e. is it GPLv2 only or any license compatible
with GPLv2 ?

Currently I see only GPLv2 in core git, but I have a series of patches
which give me a speed-up of two orders of magnitude for some cases of
at least git-status (on my platform, with my repos etc) and so far my
two approaches involve bringing in code which is either public domain
with restrictions (which may be too onerous for us to carry in
mainline) or 3-clause BSD.
