Trying to describe a license in a filename is an exercise in futility;
I can see the case for gpl as a generic license class maybe, but in
general you need to read the licenses for all the code, there are lots
of them.

Various people have posted things they are working on. While there is
no proposal to remove it, upgrading makes sense; certainly the stuff I
am working on targets 5.2 as a preference. Also the 5.1 series is no
longer getting bug fixes, and there is a hostile code fix in 5.2 that
Wikipedia found in their code audit when they added user facing Lua to
Wikipedia.
