From ec42c6652eec8030b3710a804d02ff954d253720 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: srdusr <99972264+srdusr@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 22:27:00 +0200 Subject: Add GPL-3.0 license LICENSE is the exact, unmodified canonical text from gnu.org (fetched directly, verified byte-identical via checksum before adding - a license file is exactly the kind of text where reproducing it from memory risks a subtle, avoidable error, so it wasn't worth the risk when the authoritative source is one curl away). Per the GPL's own guidance, the license document itself stays verbatim; the copyright notice goes separately in README instead of scattered across every source file's header, keeping this a one-place, low-noise addition rather than a 30-file mechanical edit nobody asked for. GPL-3.0 chosen deliberately for a security tool: it keeps derivatives open (a vendor can't take community security tooling proprietary), which is a common and well-regarded choice in that specific community. Doesn't foreclose monetization either - as sole copyright holder, dual-licensing the code commercially to others separately from the public GPL release remains available, and the choice itself stays changeable in the future for the same reason: relicensing only gets hard once other people's copyrighted contributions are in the codebase, which isn't the case here yet. --- README.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'README.md') diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 7173984..393b0bc 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -463,3 +463,9 @@ reasoning behind each: SOCKS5 - No active or passive vulnerability scanning, no plugin system - this is a manual-testing tool, not a scanner + +## License + +GPL-3.0.
