No, there is no such thing as software under a license "becoming" something else. When distributing the whole combined work e.g. a compiled file you have to follow the AGPL, naturally.
The part under GPL/MIT/BSD is still there. If you were to extract only those source files and distributed them they would be still under GPL/MIT/BSD.
- adastra22 4y agoFrom the GPLv3: > 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. > > Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such. There is a similar clause in the AGPLv3 as well. The combined work must comply simultaneously with both GPLv3 and AGPLv3. Since AGPLv3 is a superset of restrictions, that means in all practical senses the combined work is AGPLv3.
- goodpoint 4y agoRead my reply again. I very clearly spelled out: there is no such thing as software under a license "becoming" something else. When distributing the whole combined work e.g. a compiled file you have to follow the AGPL, naturally. > The combined work must comply simultaneously with both GPLv3 and AGPLv3 Correct. > Since AGPLv3 is a superset of restrictions, that means in all practical senses the combined work is AGPLv3. No. You just contradicted yourself. Yet again there is no such thing as "everything being AGPLv3".
