Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/antonioribeiro/google2fa/issues/95

While composer.json states "BSD-3-Clause" (as the LICENSE file), the file header states "GPLv3+"

Can you please clarify ?

Nah, the problem is that the Google2FA.php states it is GPLv3

And you cannot re-license an original GPLv3 work unders MIT or BSD
