------------------------------+--------------------------------
 We should have a policy statement about what licenses we will accept for
 contributions to Core Tor.  Maybe it should go into `CodingStandards.md`
 or similar.

 It seems like we currently want BSD-licensed code (3-clause?) and maybe
 don't want copylefted stuff?

 Maybe also clarify that patches to an existing file are assumed to be
 copyright-assigned to us or licensed under the same license as the
 original file.

 Bonus points if there's a well-written rationale for our licensing
 choices.  (But maybe that should be a separate ticket.)
