I have a meta question from browsing the repo: Why do C, C++, and Zig code bases, by convention, include a license at the top of every module" IMO it makes more sense to insetead include of an overview of the module's purpose, and how it fits in with the rest of the program, and one license at the top-level, as the project already has.


100% of my projects, including the Zig compiler itself, have only the license file at the root of the project tree, except of course for files that were copy pasted from other projects.
