Subject: [PATCH] note the source code is AGPL for cloning
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 22:57:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161129225740.29469-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

This should be adequate warning for folks who may be
uncomfortable or uncertain about even possessing AGPL
source code due to employer agreements and such.

Disclaimer: I remain completely in favor of AGPL and strong
copyleft, and am more than willing to risk my own future on it.
However, I refuse to even nudge people into downloading AGPL
source code if it presents any legal risk to them.
