key-file
A KEY file is a generic file extension used by various programs when registering legal copies of the software. It may be saved in a plain text format, but generally contains some form of encrypted key string that authenticates the purchase and registers the software.
A key file is not a license key file. This is a key more as in "keystone", e.g. an important file for the documentation of a package.

True if this file is "top-level" file and either a legal, readme or manifest file.
