Relicense: GPL-2.0-only → GPL-3.0-or-later#818
Conversation
seedit depends on @bitsocial/bitsocial-react-hooks (GPL-3.0-or-later), which is legally incompatible with GPL-2.0-only (no common license version). Move to GPL-3.0-or-later to resolve the conflict and align with the org's core stack (pkc-js, bitsocial-react-hooks). - package.json: license -> GPL-3.0-or-later - LICENSE: replace verbatim GPLv2 text with GPLv3 - README: license badge label Relicensing authorized by cofounder / copyright holder.

Resolve remaining GPL-2.0 user-facing text to avoid conflicting license declarations.
package.json now declares GPL-3.0-or-later, but src/views/about/about.tsx (Lines 82-86 in provided context) still tells users the app is under GPL-2.0. Please update that UI text in this PR (or explicitly defer with a tracked follow-up) so legal messaging is consistent across metadata and runtime UX.

Why
seeditis currently GPL-2.0-only but depends on@bitsocial/bitsocial-react-hooks(GPL-3.0-or-later →@pkcprotocol/pkc-js). GPL-2.0-only is legally incompatible with GPL-3.0-or-later — there is no common license version the combined work can be distributed under. This is a live conflict, not just staleness.Moving to GPL-3.0-or-later resolves it and aligns seedit with the rest of the core stack.
