------------------------+------------------------------------------
 Currently, the `tor-browser-build` repo doesn't include a `LICENSE` or
 `COPYING` file, and AFAICT none of the accompanying documentation
 specifies a license either.  This is problematic, since an unspecified
 license is legally equivalent to a non-free "All Rights Reserved" license,
 which I assume isn't The Tor Project's intent.  Can a `LICENSE` or
 `COPYING` file be added to the root of the `tor-browser-build` repo, so
 that users and potential contributors don't have to worry that they may be
 inadvertently violating the unclear license?
