The licensing for the original GVariant specification was not specified
in the original PDF.
However, CC-BY-SA-3.0 has been agreed by Allison, the sole copyright
holder, here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/documentation/developer-www/-/merge_requests/108/#note_1586866
The diagrams were redrawn by me, so their licensing/copyright status is
clear.
Tested with `reuse lint` to ensure the data is machine-readable.

This is a verbatim conversion of the GVariant Specification from
https://people.gnome.org/~desrt/gvariant-serialisation.pdf /
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ostreedev/gvariant-rs/master/docs/gvariant-serialisation.pdf
to reStructuredText.
This is for several reasons:
1. The canonical copy has gone offline due to people.gnome.org being
shut down.
2. GLib is the reference implementation of GVariant, so should probably
host the specification (unless someone wants to host it on
freedesktop-specs).
3. Moving it out of a PDF and into reStructuredText should allow for
amendments. The specification has a few problems, typos and
oversights in its original form, and it would be good to canonically
fix them without having to write a separate addendum document.
This conversion is verbatim, and does not change the content of the
document at all, even to fix typos and broken links (which there are a
small number of in the PDF).
This describes what I’m labelling as version 1.0 of the GVariant
serialisation format. Updates to the specification can bump this version
number, in subsequent commits.
