Actually, it had better be "same terms"; we are going to start being
picky about that for contrib modules. (I have a TODO I've been ignoring
to try to bring the existing contrib modules into line.)

The readmes *must* have different filenames so that they can be
installed without conflict. It'd probably be best to ensure that they
match the contrib module names. Are there any other installable files
in the two modules that have conflicting names?
