Hello,

the README says that the project is licensed under the GNU Affero GPL v3+, but that is not enough to properly license the project. You need a LICENSE or COPYING file at the root of the repository with the full text of the license, and you need to add the copyright- and license notice to each file. See here for instructions:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

And while at it, it would be great if you were to replace the :license field in the ASDF file with the SPDX identiefier (:license "AGPL-3.0-or-later") and add an SPDX license identifier at the top of each source file (;;;; SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later)

I have done the same thing in my own project cl-hssg which uses the same license, if you want to see an example.

I'm good thank you, I'll accept PRs for it though.

Fair enough. What should I put into the copyright statement? Years? Authors?
