--- Comment #1 from Mark Holmquist <[email protected]> ---
VE is a very special case that I would absolutely not attribute as an
organization- or movement-wide preference (same with ULS), and while it was my
decision to choose GPL, I chose v2 because that's the WMF's preference usually.

The legal team will tell you "Apache", but as you probably know, that's not my
preference, especially when this cannot be reasonably treated as a library. I'm
happier knowing that not only am *I* making this free software, everyone else
down the line will have to, as well.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html explains that each file should have
the header, but not the full license. COPYING has the full license text
already. AUTHORS would be a good idea too, though I don't generally like adding
.txt to the end of it.

What are the "VE styles"?
