I have also noticed that the LICENSE file specifies a different
license than those in coro.c and coro.h, which is a bit confusing,
since I'm not sure what LICENSE really refers to then -- all the files
in Coro/libcoro/ are licensed under slightly different terms:

conftest.c is necessarily GPL'd (from GNU Pth)
coro.c and coro.h are under some 2-clause BSD-style license (which
makes it functionally equivalent to the MIT license, according to
Wikipedia)
LICENSE states that all files are under the 3-clause BSD license
