# ECP-0026: adopt AGPLv3 licensing

Status: Draft

## Problem / context

We want copyleft protections that apply to network use, ensuring improvements to the networked code path remain open.

## Decision

Adopt the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3) for the repository.

## Details

- Update workspace license metadata to `AGPL-3.0-only`.
- Add a top-level `LICENSE` file with the full AGPLv3 text.

## Alternatives considered

- MIT/Apache-2.0: rejected (insufficient copyleft for network deployment).
- GPLv3: rejected (does not cover SaaS/network use).

## Rollout / teardown plan

1. Update license metadata + add LICENSE.
2. Communicate licensing change in README or release notes.

Teardown: supersede with a future ECP if the license changes again.
