As discussed, the change from AGPL to MIT may have been a mistake. This would not allow us to use code from other AGPL-licensed repositories such as KoboldAI. As such, we plan to move back to a pure AGPL license. Apologies for the mess this has caused.

All contributors are assigned as reviewers, and we will merge once everyone approves this PR.

Tagging @50h100a and @g4rg as well.

So I'll take this as being willing to accept the (IMO) small ambiguity risk.

Yes. It's a risk we should take if we're being as open source as possible.

For those watching at home, even if you download the repo during the brief MIT-licensed commit period, that code is still under AGPL, because it still contains AGPL code from other projects.

To my understanding, legally none of this code ever actually became MIT-licensed.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so AGPL is actually parasitic cancerous virus
