Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The relicensing is not ready to merge because Zapstore metadata would continue advertising MIT while the repository declares GPL-3.0-only. Align that metadata before merging. Poem

Update the stale project license metadata.
zapstore.yaml:29 still declares license: MIT, while this file now contains GPLv3 terms. Consumers that read zapstore.yaml can receive incorrect license information. Change the declaration to GPL-3.0-only and update any other project-owned license metadata before merging.

When users open Settings → About, lib/features/settings/about_screen.dart:950 still labels the project “MIT” and line 1002 renders the localized mitLicenseText; every corresponding ARB entry contains the full MIT grant. Released builds therefore contradict this new GPL notice and tell recipients they have permissions that are no longer being offered, so update both the label and the localized dialog content as part of the relicense.

When release or discovery tooling consumes zapstore.yaml, the application is still advertised as MIT because its line 29 remains license: MIT. This conflicts with the GPLv3 license introduced here and exposes consumers to incorrect machine-readable licensing information, so change the manifest to the intended GPL-3.0-only identifier in the same relicense.

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
LICENSEREADME.mdLICENSEnow 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) declaresGPL-3.0-onlyso the license is machine-readable; the field was added where it was previously absent.Notes for reviewers
