Upgrade license to AGPL-3.0 for ActivityPub interop and JSS org alignment #3

Description

@melvincarvalho

Summary

Upgrade the project license from MIT to AGPL-3.0.

Motivation

  • Aligns with the licensing direction of other repos in the JavaScriptSolidServer org
  • Enables compatibility with ActivityPub ecosystem libraries, which are predominantly AGPL (Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, etc.)
  • AGPL ensures grant-funded and community work remains in the commons

Approach

  • Original code by Christoph Braun (uvdsl) retains its MIT license notice
  • New and combined work licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later
  • MIT → AGPL is a standard, one-way compatible license upgrade
