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:

If you create a new file please use this license header:
