Relicenses this project from MIT to the GNU General Public License v3.0 (SPDX GPL-3.0-only), as part of an org-wide relicensing of every MostroP2P repository.

Changes

  • LICENSE

  • README.md

  • package.json

  • LICENSE now holds the verbatim GPLv3 text from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt (674 lines).

  • The README license section (and badge, where present) points at GPLv3. Where the README had no license section, one was added.

  • Package metadata (Cargo.toml / package.json) declares GPL-3.0-only so the license is machine-readable; the field was added where it was previously absent.

Notes for reviewers

  • Vendored third-party files keep their own licenses and were deliberately left untouched.
  • MIT is GPLv3-compatible, so the previously MIT-licensed history can be redistributed under GPLv3. Merging this is a maintainer/copyright-holder decision, not a mechanical one — please confirm before merge.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The project license changed from MIT to GNU GPLv3. The full GPLv3 text replaced the MIT text. The README and package.json now declare the GPLv3 license.

Changes

License Update

Layer / File(s) Summary
License declaration and documentation
LICENSE, README.md, package.json
The repository license changed to GNU GPLv3. The README links to the license file. Package metadata declares GPL-3.0-only.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 34923

The project license text and package metadata change to GPLv3-only, but the README is missing the requested license badge. This is a bounded documentation-completeness issue and does not affect runtime behavior.

Poem

A rabbit hops through GPLv3 light
The license text is clear and right
README points the way
Package metadata joins the display
Carrots celebrate the change tonight

P1 Badge Preserve the prior MIT notice for contributed code

If any existing code remains copyrighted by contributors who have not assigned their rights or explicitly approved relicensing, replacing the MIT file removes the copyright and permission notice that the MIT terms require distributions of substantial portions to retain. The repository history contains source contributions from multiple authors and no assignment or relicensing agreement is recorded in the repository, so retain the old MIT notice in a notices file alongside the GPL unless the necessary rights have been confirmed.

P2 Badge Regenerate the lockfile after changing package metadata

Adding this field leaves the lockfile's root packages[""] entry without the corresponding license. Running npm install --package-lock-only adds "license": "GPL-3.0-only", so routine npm operations now dirty the tracked lockfile and tools that inspect only lockfile metadata continue to report the root package without a license. Commit the regenerated package-lock.json with this change.
