Licenses Ekklesia under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or (at your option) any later version (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Module Package v1 (#66) bundles Ekklesia's SDK and contracts into distributable module packages, so the platform needs an explicit license first.

No runtime, ADR, package-format, Signage, or instance change; nothing is published or tagged.

Changes

• LICENSE: the AGPL v3 text, verbatim from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.txt (SHA-256 0d96a4ff68ad6d4b6f1f30f713b18d5184912ba8dd389f86aa7710db079abcb0, 661 lines).

• "license": "AGPL-3.0-or-later" in the root package.json and every Ekklesia workspace package. One added line per manifest and nothing else changed:

  • @ekklesia/api, @ekklesia/core, @ekklesia/shell;
  • @ekklesia/contracts, @ekklesia/design-tokens, @ekklesia/module-pack, @ekklesia/module-sdk, @ekklesia/module-ui-build, @ekklesia/module-ui-host, @ekklesia/module-ui-sdk, @ekklesia/typescript-config, @ekklesia/ui;
  • @ekklesia/module-template.

  Visibility and publishing flags are unchanged. The vendored Apache-2.0 notice material in packages/module-pack/licenses/ is third-party and untouched.

• README: a License section replacing the placeholder ("No open-source license has been selected yet…"). It states:

  • AGPL v3 or any later version, with SPDX id and link;
  • the FSF's standard grant ("either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version"), with its warranty disclaimer;
  • that source is available under its terms;
  • section 13's network-use source obligation for modified versions;
  • that official Ekklesia modules use AGPL-3.0-or-later.

• Module template README and module development guide: the template declares the license, so modules started from it begin with it. They also state, factually, that Module Package v1 doesn't yet record a module's own license.

Why AGPL-3.0-or-later

The project decision, revised in review, is AGPL version 3 or any later version. LICENSE stays the canonical AGPLv3 text; the grant to later versions is stated where the project's licensing terms are established: the README's notice and every manifest's SPDX identifier.

Module Package v1: no change, and why

• Bundled Ekklesia code is represented. The SDK, contracts, and UI packages appear in ekklesia.package.json under incorporates. THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES stays third-party only.
• The package carries no license declaration of its own, by contract. ADR 0049 fixes the runtime package.json fields, makes ekklesia.package.json strict, and says the package "contains nothing else". Adding a license field, or a LICENSE file with the AGPL text for the bundled Ekklesia code, would change that accepted contract. This PR therefore leaves it alone, as instructed, and the packaged template is byte-identical before and after this PR (9a2fc626…, same recorded revision).
• Recommended follow-up: an ADR amendment that adds the module's license to the package metadata and ships the license text with each package. That should land before SDK-bundling packages are distributed.

Verification

• pnpm verify: passed (contracts 232, core 1059, api 510, module-pack 39; boundaries, module and migration validation, identity schema, build).
• Template package byte-identical on main and on this branch.
• All 133 links in the changed docs resolve.
• Final tree search: every license declaration is AGPL-3.0-or-later, and no AGPL-3.0-only remains anywhere. The vendored third-party Apache text is the only other license. No stale or conflicting declarations.

chore: license Ekklesia under AGPL-3.0-only ... 9a328f647e

Ekklesia is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3
only. Module Package v1 (#66) bundles Ekklesia's SDK and contracts into
distributable module packages, so the platform needs an explicit license
before such artifacts are distributed.

- LICENSE: the GNU AGPL v3 text, verbatim from
  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.txt
  (sha256 0d96a4ff68ad6d4b6f1f30f713b18d5184912ba8dd389f86aa7710db079abcb0).
- "license": "AGPL-3.0-only" in the root package.json and every Ekklesia
  workspace package (13 packages), the module template included. Nothing else in
  any manifest changed.
- README: a License section replacing the "no license selected yet" placeholder:
  AGPL v3 only, source available under its terms, section 13's network-use
  obligation, and the policy that official Ekklesia modules use AGPL-3.0-only.
- Module template README and module development guide: the template declares
  the license; Module Package v1 does not yet record a module's own license,
  which needs a format change under ADR 0049.

AGPL-3.0-only, not -or-later: the decision is AGPL-3.0, and nothing in the
repository grants later versions. No runtime, ADR, package-format, Signage, or
instance change. The packaged template is byte-identical before and after.

chore: license Ekklesia under AGPL-3.0-or-later instead of AGPL-3.0-only ... 52a665502f

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.
