This directory contains code from third-party projects used by Carbon. Code
under this directory has some "upstream" that is not Carbon itself. In some
cases, they may be under their own open source license.
The `/third_party` directory is for any code that doesn't follow Carbon's normal
contribution rules, and thus requires special care. The intent is that code
_not_ under `/third_party` should not require special contribution rules.
Examples of code belonging under `/third_party` include:
- Code not licensed under the standard
[Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception license](/LICENSE).
- Code which is maintained externally or imported from another repository.
- Code which is not fully under
[Carbon's CLA](/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributor-license-agreements-clas).
