**Summary:**
This pull request proposes changing the project's license from GPL-3.0 to Apache License 2.0. The primary motivation for this change is to address ongoing issues with unauthorized websites and individuals misusing the project's name and branding without proper attribution or permission. The Apache 2.0 license offers additional protections, including a trademark clause that prevents misuse of the project name in a way that could mislead users.
**Reason for the Change:**
We've recently encountered several instances of unauthorized websites falsely presenting themselves as official sources of Arnis. While the GPL-3.0 license ensures the project's openness, it lacks provisions to prevent brand misuse. The Apache 2.0 license requires users to give proper attribution and explicitly prohibits using the project's name or branding without permission.
**Request for Approval:**
As contributors to this project, your approval is required for this license change. Please review the proposed change and provide your feedback or approval. Your contributions are highly valued, and your consent is necessary to proceed with this transition.
Thank you for your support in protecting the integrity of the Arnis project! The project will remain open source and free for everyone to use, modify, and contribute to, as it has always been.
