翠星石 (suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Sunday, 18-Jun-2023 12:11:17 JST翠星石 @terhechte Thank you for releasing your software as free software (I will pay $1000 to anyone who can find the word "open" in the GPLv3: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terhechte/Ebou/main/LICENSE).
Please note that it's good you've at least written "Ebou is licensed under the GPL License" in the README, seemingly allowing any version of the GPL to be used, but it's recommended to place a copyright notice at the top of every nontrivial file to make to crystal clear what copyright terms are and also to prevent the sad case when individual files are copied and reused without it being known what the license is (as no license sadly means proprietary).
As recommended by the GPLv3, the notice should be:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
