I can see this matches core.

The commit message is misleading -- this adds the dual-license file, not GPLv3. I'd personally choose a different license here, but that's a separate discussion.

AFAICT, the effects of GPL are basically void here because nobody is re-distributing this with their own changes. I'd go with the least restrictive option possible so MIT (or Apache 2.0 to align with some other repos we have).

Should we also add a CLA? We shouldn't claim copyright for contributed code/changes otherwise.
