Bug #7546
closedWe are using AGPL in place of GPL
Description
Change the licence of all AGPL project to GPLv3.
That means:
In the code:
- changing all the headers \o/ (be careful, the copyright year must be concerved)
- changing the LICENSE file for the one available at: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt
- adapting the LICENSE_EXCEPTION file: change reference from AGPL to GPL. Nothing else need to be done since the refered article are the same on both licence.
In packaging:
- changing packages information about licensing
The scope of the licence change goes beyond pur Rudder code. Reference to AGPL must be changed every where they are found: in documentation and other resources like tutorial or slides, wikipedia (for example, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Affero_General_Public_License), etc.

The license header would become:

I added a reference to Rudder, as advised in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html:
For programs that are more than one file, it is better to replace “this program” with the name of the program, and begin the statement with a line saying “This file is part of NAME”.
