⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: Warranty disclaimer contradicts GPLv3 license.

The disclaimer text is from the MIT license, not GPLv3. Since the project is licensed under GPLv3, the warranty clause must match GPLv3's actual terms. GPLv3 Sections 15-16 specify different warranty disclaimers than what is currently in the file.

Replace the disclaimer with GPLv3-compliant language:

-THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
+The software is provided "AS-IS" under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3. There is no warranty for the software. The GPL v3 license explicitly disclaims liability: "IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY" (GPLv3 Section 16). For complete warranty terms, see the full GPLv3 license.

In LICENSE.md around lines 29 to 31, the file currently contains an MIT-style
warranty disclaimer which conflicts with the project's GPLv3 license; replace
that MIT text with the GPLv3-compliant warranty and liability disclaimer by
inserting the exact wording from GPLv3 Sections 15 and 16 (or paste the
canonical GPLv3 text verbatim), ensuring it states the absence of warranty and
the limitation of liability as specified in GPLv3 and include a reference/link
to the full GPLv3 license text so the file is consistent with GPLv3 terms.
