[FEATURE] Determine License

[premk]

We should go with a permissive copy left license. AGPL 3.0?

[keithhenning]

My legal recommendation last week was for https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

[knakamura13]

Understood, thanks for your recommendation Keith.

Everyone okay with closing out this ticket now? We still need to add License information to the following locations:

• README (implemented on #82)
• About page on the website

[knakamura13]

I like GNU AGPLv3 a lot!

[knakamura13]

Shall we agree to move forward with AGPLv3 or does anyone want to wait for more feedback from the community?

I’m assuming we can downgrade the license to MIT later if we want to, right? (Or is a license permanently attached to the code it pertains to?)

[knakamura13]

Oh, my bad, Keith. If that's your recommendation then I am okay with changing the license.

[knakamura13]

My legal recommendation last week was for https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

I changed the license to GPLv3, which I believe is totally okay to do because we haven't "released" any of our code yet.

New PR: #79

Honestly I thought GPLv3 and AGPLv3 were the same thing, but apparently not

[keithhenning]

They are slightly different. We will have an easier time of things using GPLv3.
