This repository's LICENSE was already the canonical FSF AGPL-3.0 text except for a single line-wrap difference at lines 636-637, inside the sample notice template rather than the operative terms. That one difference is enough to make the published claim -- byte-identical in every repository -- false as stated. This replaces the file with the canonical bytes fetched from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.txt (sha256 0d96a4ff68ad6d4b6f1f30f713b18d5184912ba8dd389f86aa7710db079abcb0, 34523 B, 661 lines). The diff is two lines. No other byte changes.

The organization's published claim is that source is AGPL-3.0-only — the canonical FSF text, byte-identical, in every repository. This repository was the closest of the four to meeting it, and still did not.
What changed
LICENSEonly. One file, two lines.The previous file (sha256

Fetched at the edit from
