This is an illustration of the confused and harmful license practices
that Github has encouraged.  That file does not tell us how the code
is licensed.  It could be under GPL version 3 only, or GPL version
3-or-later.  This is a crucial question.

MAYBE something else in the package will say.  Or maybe not.

The proper way to use the GPL is to put a license notice in each
source file, which would give the answer to this question.  However,
Github has taught people not to bother with this.
