These scripts are not meant to be included into guix.

Will add a License file - but not a license header to each of these
files, as this would contradict the basic idea of this repo.

This almost is the idea behind this repos - the exact idea is that
someone will batch-work an these files.

Refreshing is part of the half-automated process done by the scripts.
