Updates the main LICENSE file from the GNU General Public License version 2 to version 3.
Reasons for considering the update:

  • GPLv3 offers improved patent protection clauses.
  • Includes anti-Tivoization provisions.
  • Provides clearer language and better internationalization.
  • Addresses ambiguities found in GPLv2.
  • Maintains the strong copyleft nature consistent with the previous GPLv2 license.

The source file headers have already been updated to refer generally to the LICENSE file
