I have been using "as-is" to mean licenses that allow anything and
everything as long as the copyright notice is preserved. For example,
# This file is free software; the author(s) gives unlimited

If "as-is" will be removed from @GPL_COMPATIBLE, what gpl-compatible
license should I use instead for such packages?
