License mismatch between LICENSE file and package.json #79

Since LICENSE mentions "GNU Affero General Public License" but nothing about Lesser I read it as this code is covered by the AGPL v3.0 license but the package.json file states LAGPL which is not the same license. This makes it hard for non open-source projects to use this package.

Hey! Thanks for caring about open source licensing. The "Lesser" part arises from that paragraph:

Additional permission under the GNU Affero GPL version 3 section 7: If you modify this Program, or any covered work, by linking or combining it with other code, such other code is not for that reason alone subject to any of the requirements of the GNU Affero GPL version 3.

That's the same addition that the Lesser GPL adds. Does that clarify things for you?

That explains it, thank you!
