License not clear

[michaelforney]

The LICENSE file contains the GPLv3, but README.md says it is licensed under the AGPLv3. These two should be reconciled.

This seems like an important thing to clear up.

@moxie0 hello, I'm in the process of packaging this library for Debian GNU/Linux and would be very grateful if you could clarify what seems to be a minor inconsistency. Thanks in advance for this and even more for making Signal Free Software !

Still needs fixing. The README.md was updated in 2015 to say AGPLv3, e02aea9#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8 but the build.gradle and the LICENSE file have always said GPLv3. Logically, because signal4android is definitely GPLv3, since it is a combined work with libsignal-service-java, that means the correct license here is GPLv3. Please change this pair of lines:

• https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-service-java/blob/master/README.md
  
  
• Copyright 2013-2016 Open Whisper Systems
• Licensed under the AGPLv3: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html

To the correct values. My guess would be it should nowadays be saying:

• Copyright 2013-2017 Open Whisper Systems.
• Copyright 2018-2019 Signal Foundation
• Licensed under the GPLv3: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html

I can make a PR if that will help

The README does not seem to be the only issue, some files have an Affero-specific header:
