Possibly incompatible license #63

Closed KaspianDev closed 2 years ago

KaspianDev commented 2 years ago

Hi, thanks for all your work in OSS. However from my research looks like AGPL might be incompatible with GPL. I couldn't find official source saying so thought.

AGPL can use GPL, GPL cannot use AGPL. LGPL cannot use GPL. GPL can use LGPL.

LGPL -> GPL -> AGPL

LGPL: API usage isn't a combined work GPL: API usage is a combined work AGPL: API usage is a combined work, usage over web is considered distribution so therefore players may request sources.

You can license forwards but not backwards, as progressively the license becomes more strict.
