License
- critical:License usabilityThe bundled LICENSE.txt is the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, which is a strong copyleft license that may impose significant obligations on derivative works, potentially restricting commercial use or requiring source code disclosure of network-accessible services. This is a critical restriction for a general-purpose tool.
