chore(license): relicense from MPL-2.0 to AGPL-3.0-or-later#40
Merged
Conversation
This commit relicenses the project from Mozilla Public License 2.0 to GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. Aligns with the broader anti-censorship FOSS ecosystem (Hiddify, Marzban, Outline, AmneziaVPN, sing-box are all AGPL-3.0). The network-use clause closes the SaaS-clone vector that MPL-2.0 left open while keeping the project fully open and welcoming community contributions. Pre-relicense SHA: ea9eb32 Code at or before ea9eb32 remains available under MPL-2.0 per its original release. From this commit forward, AGPL-3.0-or-later. Past copyright holders consented to the relicense: * findias (project lead, 310 commits, original author) * Jochan Conrad <johanconrad@atomicmail.io> — 13 commits, 28 surviving lines (mostly bug fixes). Consent recorded as #38 (comment) ("Yes, OK to relicense", 2026-05-06). dependabot[bot] commits are excluded as automated dependency bumps do not generate copyright. Adds: * LICENSE replaced with the canonical AGPL-3.0 text from gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.txt (sha256 0d96a4ff68ad6d4b6f1f30f713b18d5184912ba8dd389f86aa7710db079abcb0). * README.md and README.ru.md badge + License section updated. * CONTRIBUTING.md added with Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) v1.1 sign-off requirement for future contributions. * SPDX headers in roles/xray/{tests/test.yml,vars/main.yml} updated from MIT-0 (ansible-galaxy init scaffolding) to AGPL-3.0-or-later to match the project-wide license.

Why
Aligns with the broader anti-censorship FOSS ecosystem (Hiddify, Marzban, Outline, AmneziaVPN, sing-box are all AGPL-3.0). AGPL's network-use clause closes the SaaS-clone vector that MPL-2.0 left open while keeping the project fully open and welcoming community contributions.
This is Phase 2 of the org-wide AGPL-3.0 relicense. Phase 1 landed earlier today:
