Closes #544.

The README advertised MIT (badge + footer) while the authoritative LICENSE file is GNU GPL v3 and every package.json declares GPL-3.0. A reader trusting the MIT badge would make a wrong assumption about a copyleft project. Fix is one-directional: make the docs match the license.

Changes

  • README.md:14 — badge License: MITLicense: GPL-3.0 (GPL--3.0 renders as a single dash on shields.io)
  • README.md:166 — footer MIT © Memry contributorsGPL-3.0 © Memry contributors
  • plans/README.md — Plan 003 status TODODONE

Out of scope (unchanged)

  • LICENSE — already correct (GPL v3)
  • All package.json "license" fields — already GPL-3.0
  • apps/docs/src and apps/landing scanned — no MIT license claims, nothing to align

Verify

  • grep -n MIT README.md → no matches
  • git diff --check → clean
