Only if every commit is by you, or has rights assigned to you (typically via CLA).
If there's other authors, they continue to have AGPL rights on the repo - and can request your future changes to be provided to anyone the software is distributed to.

- anilgulecha 3y agoAck, makes sense. I was pointing to the fact of this being a long existent project, which typically would mean external contributions already existing.
