When you create a software, you release it under a license. That means that everyone who uses that software must agree to abide by the terms in the license.

We need a mechanism by which an existing GNU GPL license gets converted into AGPL.

If you have an application that is licensed under GPL, just license it under AGPL as well - both are compactable.

@Raj

Is GPL and AGPL recognized by law makers of any country?

Sure it is. When you create a software, you release it under a license. That means that everyone who uses that software must agree to abide by the terms in the license. In lawyer speak it could be called a contract - although I am not sure about that - I am not a lawyer.

Also, I haven't really come across any news of anyone suing someone over violation of GPL license. May be you might be the first one to sue somebody for violation of AGPL ;-) Hold on! Is GPL and AGPL recognized by law makers of any country? :o Binny,

But what about existing GNU GPL licenses? We need a mechanism by which an existing GNU GPL license gets converted into AGPL. I think that is an excellent idea or a license.
