[arch-releng] Licensing of the archiso repository under the terms of the GPL-3.0

[David Runge]

Hello again,

as I'm obviously incapable of using e-mail at this time of day, I
apologize again for the inconvenience of getting this mail so many times
and hope that you'll answer *to this e-mail* instead of to the one to
arch-general.

Sorry again. I guess it is time to take a nap...

Best,
David
