The project decision is the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or
(at your option) any later version.

- "license": "AGPL-3.0-or-later" in all 14 Ekklesia-owned package.json files.
- README: the License section states AGPL v3 or any later version (SPDX
  AGPL-3.0-or-later) and carries the FSF's standard grant: "either version 3 of
  the License, or (at your option) any later version", with its warranty
  disclaimer and pointer to the license.
- Module template README and module development guide: AGPL-3.0-or-later for
  Ekklesia and official modules.

LICENSE is unchanged: it remains the canonical AGPLv3 text.
