Disclaimer use restrictions not compatible with AGPL

[elliotwutingfeng]

According to the GNU GPL FAQs page (which also applies to the AGPL), a license that limits who can use a program, or for what, is not a free software license.

Thus, this usage restriction statement "Use it only in personal, criminal investigations, pentesting, or open-source projects." in the readme is not compatible with the AGPL.

Though technically, every project that includes AGPL code has to be open-source anyway, but the original AGPL text already includes the "disclose source" requirement.

Solution

This can be resolved by removing the statement "Use it only in personal, criminal investigations, pentesting, or open-source projects." or alternatively by keeping the statement and using a non-free license similar to the AGPL that also allows for software usage restrictions.
