Description

Here in Github it is stated that the project is under GPL 2.0. But this seems only half of the truth. Looking deeper into the project it seems that the directory inc and lib are licensed under license found in licenses/LICENSE.efilib. Is that correct?

Research direction

Review the repository's GitHub license indication, the inc and lib directories, and licenses/LICENSE.efilib. Compare the notices in those locations and document the project's licensing scope and any distinction between the repository and those directories. Done means the license status is clearly stated for contributors and users.
