License issue #35

Actual behavior

As I can see in README.md as license mentioned GPL

The code sources is GPL, using Qt, feel free to contribute!

But according LICENSE.txt source code licensed under LGPL-3.0 (aka GNU LGPLv3, GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0):

Expected behavior

Need set properly license and correct README.md and LICENSE.txt

I suggest that whole project source code should be licensed under GPL-3.0 (aka GNU GPLv3; GNU General Publice License v3.0).

Mostly FLOSS app use GNU GPLv3 for code (if its not a lib); but there are some projects that use GNU LGPLv3 for whole project, such as FreeCAD:

If you set LGPL-3.0 as Astree license for a reason, please provide more info.

Thanks, set all under LGPL V3.0 ; its free, but I have no problem if it is used in a product someday
