Browse source 
Also, drop the top-level MIT license file. With this repository
containing mostly Snix, it's confusing.

# License structure
All Snix crates in this repository are licensed under GPL-3.0, with the
exception of the protocol buffer definitions used for communication between
services which are available under a more permissive license (MIT).
The idea behind this structure is that any direct usage of our code (e.g.
linking to it, embedding the evaluator, etc.) will fall under the terms of
the GPL3, but users are free to implement their own components speaking these
protocols under the terms of the MIT license.
Other tooling in this repository might be licensed differently, and is usually
described in the code itself, via some auxillary metadata (`Cargo.toml` etc), or
a `LICENSE` file in the same or parent folder(s). If this is not the case,
please open a bug!
