Hi, the license file in this repo currently contains GNU GPL 3 which states that:

ScoreCounter/LICENSE

Lines 570 to 577 in 1412e4d

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.

which means that the author has the right to restrict whether the published program can be used under the terms of newer versions of this license. It would be nice if somewhere in the readme it was specified whether this is or is not the case.
