Summary

This PR changes the project's licensing model from a single MIT license to a dual-licensing approach, offering both GPL-3.0 (free/open-source) and Commercial license options.

Changes Made

  • Replaced MIT License: The original MIT license in LICENSE has been replaced with a dual-licensing notice
  • Added GPL-3.0 License: New LICENSE-GPL file containing the full GNU General Public License v3.0 text
  • Added Commercial License: New LICENSE-COMMERCIAL file outlining commercial licensing terms and conditions
  • Updated LICENSE file: Now serves as a summary document explaining both licensing options and their implications
  • Updated Cargo.toml: Changed the license field from "MIT" to "GPL-3.0-or-later" to reflect the primary open-source license

Licensing Details

  • Allows proprietary/closed-source distribution of modifications

modify and redistribute the code under proprietary/closed-source terms.
