lectio was MIT, which let anyone take it closed. The concern is not people
selling it -- no licence stops that, and the AGPL does not try to -- but
someone building a proprietary product on it and giving nothing back.
Plain GPL would leave the obvious hole open: lectio-web is a network
service, and hosting is not distribution, so a modified lectio-web could be
run as a paid subscription API without ever publishing a line. AGPL section
13 closes exactly that.
LICENSE is the verbatim FSF text. README carries the standard notice.
Section 13 requires a modified network-reachable version to PROMINENTLY
offer its source to the users interacting with it, so the offer ships with
the code rather than living only in a file nobody fetches:
- GET /source plain text, no template or config dependency, so
it answers even when something else is broken
- page footers every full page (fragments render inside one)
- JSON envelope "source" / "license"
- iCal header X-LECTIO-SOURCE / X-LECTIO-LICENSE
The feed fields are not redundant: an /api/calendar.json consumer or an
.ics subscriber never loads a page, so the footer alone would miss them.
config.SourceURL is the single source of truth, and says in its comment
that a fork running as a service must repoint it -- an offer that leads to
someone else's code is not an offer.
Tests pin all of it. This is a licence obligation, not a feature, so it
should fail loudly if a later change drops it.
