Relicenses `zlog`, `ztracing`, and `ztracing_macro` from GPL-3.0-or-later to Apache-2.0. GPUI depends on `ztracing`, which depends on `zlog`, so these crates have to be non-copyleft for GPUI to ship as a permissively licensed project. - Switched the `license` field to `Apache-2.0` in all three manifests. - Added the `LICENSE-APACHE` symlink to `zlog`, and dropped the `LICENSE-GPL` symlinks from all three. `ztracing` and `ztracing_macro` already carried both symlinks; now the on-disk license matches the manifest. - Declared `license = "Apache-2.0"` for `gpui_util`, which had a `LICENSE-APACHE` symlink but no `license` field. `script/check-licenses` doesn't catch that, since it only inspects symlinks. No source changes; none of these crates carry GPL headers or in-source license references. Checked the rest of the subtree while here: the only first-party crates reachable from `ztracing` via `cargo tree -e normal` are `collections`, `gpui_util`, `zlog`, and `ztracing_macro`, all Apache-2.0 now. Third-party deps (`tracing`, `tracing-subscriber`, `chrono`, `log`, `anyhow`, `tracy-client`) are MIT/Apache. `script/check-licenses` passes. Release Notes: - N/A

Licensing
Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specifiederror for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = falseunder[package]in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirementsfor a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
