lich stays open source, but any distributed or network-served derivative must publish its source under the same license. Releases up to and including v0.9.0 remain under MIT (irrevocable). LICENSE carries the verbatim GNU AGPL v3 text; nfpm metadata and the README notice follow.

Summary
Replaces the MIT license with AGPL-3.0-only. lich stays genuinely open source (OSI-approved), but any distributed — or network-served — derivative must publish its complete source under the same license, so no one can take the code proprietary. As copyright owner, omartelo retains the ability to dual-license.
