decathorpe opened issue #3912:

I'm working on packaging wasmtime for Fedora Linux, and during package review it came up that the wasi-common crate contains a submodule ("WASI") where it's entirely unclear how those files are licensed, especially the .witx files included from WASI/phases/.

Side note: It looks like lots of the README.md (and some docs.md) files from the WASI submodule are included by mistake, because Cargo.toml has include = [..., "README.md", ...] instead of include = [..., "/README.md", ...] (note the leading / to make sure only the README.md file from the crate root matches, not all README.md files in all child directories).
