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

  • Cargo.toml

  • LICENSE

  • README.md

  • 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.

I’m a rabbit with a GPL tune
License lines now match the moon
Cargo speaks the same clear way
README joins the words today
The license rests in full display
