Pull requests should be made against the main branch.
swift is dual-licensed under the GPL-3.0-or-later or the swift pilot client license (a modified GPL-3.0-or-later license). Official releases are published under the swift pilot client license. This dual licensing is necessary because swift may, depending on the build settings, link to proprietary software that is not compatible with the GPL-3.0-or-later. For example, this includes vatsimauth or simulator-specific connectors.
