WASI specification sounds like non-functional data more than code,
right?  If that's correct, then it shouldn't be an impediment to having
this merged in GNU Guix (though of course having this licensing issue
fixed upstream would be nice), as the GNU FSDG has an exception for
non-functional data, as long as is freely distributable.  See the
'Non-functional Data' paragraph, specifically:
