# 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:
|
||
|
|
||
|
````
|
||
|
/**
|
||
|
* @copyright Copyright (c) <year>, <your name> (<your email address>)

||

||
|
* @license GNU AGPL version 3 or any later version
