MIT is permissive and allows proprietary redistribution without sharing changes. GPL-3.0 is copyleft — it requires all derivatives and redistributions to remain open source.

Changes

  • LICENSE — replaced MIT text with full GPL-3.0 canonical text
  • Cargo.toml — added license = "GPL-3.0-or-later" to [package] and bumped version to 1.1.6
  • README.md — updated License section to reflect GPL-3.0 with a brief description
  • CHANGELOG.md — added [1.1.6] - 2026-03-23 entry documenting the license change
