Warning
This human-readable summary of 3515.games' license is not a substitute for the license itself. If this summary conflicts with the license, the license takes precedence. For the license, see LICENSE.
3515.games is licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). But what does that mean for you?
You may be familiar with the GNU General Public License (GPL), which allows you to do almost anything you want with the licensed software on the condition that if you share it with other people, you must also share the source code with them under the same terms. The AGPL is the same thing with the additional condition that letting people use the software over a network also counts as sharing it with them.
In the case of 3515.games, this means that self-hosting the bot counts as sharing it with other people, and you will need to ensure you are complying with the AGPL if you do so.
If you share 3515.games with anyone, you must also share the source code with them and do so under the terms of the AGPL. If you modify the source code and self-host it, you have to share your modified version, too — again, under the terms of the AGPL. If you include 3515.games' source code in a larger program and share that program, you have to share the entire program's source code under the terms of the AGPL.1
Whenever you share the source code, you must include verbatim copies of both the AGPL and COPYING. If you share a modified verion of the source code, you must prominently disclose that it's been modified from the original and the date on which you first modified it, as well as that the source code is licensed under the AGPL.
You are absolutely never allowed to pretend that you made 3515.games, misrepresent modified versions of 3515.games' source code as the original work, or misrepresent unmodified versions of 3515.games' source code as your own work.
You may only share 3515.games' source code under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License. Other licenses are strictly unacceptable, even if their terms appear to be equivalent to those of the AGPL.
Here are some examples of how the AGPL affects your use of 3515.games.

With one exception: if the larger program is licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPL), the larger program can remain licensed under the GPL, but everything from 3515.games must be licensed under the AGPL.
