Yes, that is my goal and is stated in the Readme.md. I would like the
final version of the project to use the Apache License. I have a AGPL
at the moment as at some point the codebase could become attractive and
somebody can take it and commercialise it.
Is there really a difference between the AGPL/APL in waiting until we
hit version 1.0? Not sure, but I guess I would like a certain level of
control over the codebase until we hit 1.0. After that people can
comercialise it all they want.
We may end up importing a library that is GPL/AGPL and then the project
will be AGPL.

I think we should decide soon though. Either stick with github or move on.
Maybe something to discuss a bit further on #nikita
