Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel switched long ago, so there is strong precedent. Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed. For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0), reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license. The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to licenses/README.md.
