We have contacted all contributors to the code in rust/ and
that code is now all relicensed under the "standard Rust license"
of Apache 2.0 OR MIT.

Due to an accident,
some GPLv2+ code was imported in the C side, and we're unlikely to
easily change that now. Make this more official by adding the GPLv2.

I'd like to go through the C code and add SPDX and possibly investigate
relicensing some of the GPLv2+ code to LGPLv2+ but, not right now.

For a bit more about Rust and SPDX, see this issue.
