Description

https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/blob/b04d235edfd1453abccbb7a0ed379cf7ec1a48b6/LICENSE#L634-L648

The idea here is that this notice should be attached to each source file in the program (though it is often put in the README instead), not modified in the LICENSE file itself (in this the GPL is unlike the MIT license and other similar licenses). It's probably a good idea to revert this change to the LICENSE file and instead put the notice somewhere else.

Research direction

The issue points to a specific section in the LICENSE file (lines 634-648) that was incorrectly modified. First, examine the original GPL license text to understand the standard notice. Then, revert the changes in the LICENSE file to its original form. Finally, decide where to place the notice appropriately, such as in the README or source file headers, as per GPL requirements.
