@stefan (stefbun) The Mastodon repo is actually really bad and does not follow the advice given by the FSF at all.

I can't find any file that says under which license the images, docs and other stuff are distributed as. They should rectify this by being explicit about it.

Same thing with the actual source code itself. Every source file should have a license header, so it is unambiguous which license applies to that specific file.

Putting the AGPL in the root is simply an implication that it applies to everything unless stated otherwise, but that's probably not what they meant so it is still unclear if you're going to get copyright issues or not if you decide to use anything. Fun, isn't it?
