license: use LGPLv3 rather than GPLv3 (CRAFT-306)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged PR #60 (commit ec24ac2, merged as 735eafc) relicensed craft-providers from GPLv3 to LGPLv3 for CRAFT-306, replacing LICENSE and per-file headers across 82 files.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The PR was approved by two reviewers and merged into main as commit 735eafc, with the squashed change ec24ac2. Following cmatsuoka's review note, the author updated the per-file license headers; LICENSE now contains LGPLv3 text and pyproject.toml, README.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md all declare LGPL-3.0.
