Now the problem is... licensing. The project seems dead for 15 years but 
I don't see a license files in 
<https://old.zope.org/Members/shh/ExtFile/>. The readme says ZPL, but 
not version is listed. Is ZPL still a thing?

The original old code in 
<https://old.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile/> seems to have a 
MIT-like license.

That is useful. Thanks.

Understood.
