Version for GPL, AGPL #6

Could we have a version for GPLv3, AGPL v3 just like the ones for MIT, BSD?

Hi, thanks for your interest. The way the GPL works is that additional restrictions can't be introduced with it, but we're trying to figure out a workable approach.

Would use this license if it workedl with AGPL v3

cathalgarvey commented 3 years ago

Would love to see improvement here, (A)GPLv3 would be crucial for me.

There is a clause in the GPL preventing additional terms being added if it would invalidate the core freedoms carved out by the GPL, but of course a derivative license can simply remove clauses as well as adding them. A derivative license of this kind could not be referred to as being "based on the GPL" or similar because that would be confusing, but it could be presented as a Climate Strike license for fans of strong or weak copyleft.
