The GPL-3.0-or-later notice in LICENSE was the only place the license was written down - no source file carries a header pointing at it - so the swap is that file plus a README section saying what changed and what did not. MPL is copyleft per file, so the vendored Apache-2.0 code keeps its own headers and a work linking this one is free of it. Exhibit A allows the notice to live in LICENSE alone, which is why no per-file header follows.

LICENSEwas GPL-3.0-or-later and is now the verbatim Mozilla Public License 2.0, fetched from mozilla.org rather than typed out.That file was the only place the license was written down: no
.ktor.javaof ours carries a header pointing at it, so nothing else had to change. Exhibit A of the MPL allows the notice to live in aLICENSEfile instead of atop every source file, which is why this adds no per-file headers.What keeps its own license:
com/commonsware/android/printandFindActionModeCallbackwith the twowebview_findresources are Apache-2.0 from upstream and stay that way. MPL is copyleft per file, so they sit next to MPL files without conflict, and a larger work linking this one is not pulled in either - the practical difference from the GPL.The README gains a License section saying all of that.
Not covered here
F-Droid reads the license from
metadata/at.tomtasche.reader.ymlin fdroiddata, which today saysGPL-3.0-or-later. The listing keeps saying GPL until that file is changed in a merge request there.Worth being explicit about
Relicensing is the copyright holders' call, not something a change to a file settles - the notice replaced here named Thomas Taschauer, and contributions since came in under the GPL. This PR is the mechanical half; the agreement to it is yours to have.
