There is a bug in the https://github.com/gl-gitaly/go-license-detector where it only detects LGPL if the license contains both LGPL and GPL text in it.

This bug causes the project to not be recognized as LGPL at GitLab.

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 COPYING text with the combined LGPLv3 + GPLv3 license text (as published by GNU).
  • Update the FSF URL in the copyright header from http:// to https://.
