- # How to apply a license
-
- Originally Nextcloud was licensed under the GNU AGPLv3 only. From
- June, 16 2016 on we switched to "GNU AGPLv3 or any later version" for
- better long-term maintainability and to make it more secure from a
- legal point of view.
-
- Additionally Nextcloud doesn't require a CLA (Contributor License
- Agreement). The copyright belongs to all the individual
- contributors.
-
- If you modify an existing file, please keep the existing license header as
- it is and just add your copyright notice:
-
- ````
- @copyright Copyright (c) <year>, <your name> (<your email address>)
- ````
-
- If you create a new file please use this license header:
-
- ````
- /**
