Another xls files reading library.

The home page of Freexl says

FreeXL is licensed under the MPL tri-license terms; you are free to choose the best-fit license between:

the MPL 1.1
the GPL v2.0 or any subsequent version
the LGPL v2.1 or any subsequent version

I'm not sure what this means for Guix

Thanks
