License was changed on the repository as of these commits: 71e5897e54...c6bb34e9b6

This is just completely wrong for a multitude of reasons, as it seems at first glance that all code in the repo was placed under GPLv3. Since the code contains contributions from multiple users, not all of whom gave approval, along with the fact that there was no Contributor License Agreement that allowed for this to happen, this change cannot happen.

When confronted in the Discord about this, Map1n stated that "I didn’t relicense any code except my own. The rest still remains under MIT". The Repo does not reflect that. The repo should explicitly state what is covered under which license (dual-licensing), which doesn't involve having to look at git history, seeing who contributed what.

I would recommend you revert this until you have this correct.
