Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s COPYING license text to use the official combined LGPLv3 + GPLv3 wording, matching the GNU-provided lgpl+gpl-3.0.txt, to improve compatibility with GitLab’s (and go-license-detector’s) license detection and ensure the project is recognized as LGPL.
Changes:
- Replace the LGPLv3
COPYINGtext with the combined LGPLv3 + GPLv3 license text (as published by GNU). - Update the FSF URL in the copyright header from
http://tohttps://.
