It was only on the About page, which is behind a sign-in -- so the one
place a version is most often wanted, when something is wrong and nobody
can get in, was the one place it could not be read.
It sits next to the AGPL source link deliberately. Section 13's offer is
for the source of *this* build, and naming the build is what turns that
into something a person can act on rather than a link to whatever main
happens to be. A bug report can name the build without signing in, too.
Worth being deliberate about: this is pre-authentication, so anyone who
can reach the instance can read it. That is a real disclosure -- it tells
an unauthenticated visitor exactly which build to look up. It is being
accepted rather than overlooked: ihasmail is AGPL with its source already
linked from that same line, so the version narrows nothing that reading
the source would not, and the sign-in page already names the software.
The logo baked "ihasmail.com" into the artwork, which is the wrong
identity for a project that is not the hosted instance -- and at the
34px the topbar renders it at, the wordmark was an illegible smudge
under a squashed cat.
logo.png, icon-512.png, icon-192.png and apple-touch-icon.png are now
the mark alone. favicon-64.png, icon-maskable.png and favicon.ico
already were, and are untouched.
Cropping needed a threshold: both source files carry a band of
near-invisible pixels (alpha 1-10) roughly 40px wide down the left
side, so a plain getbbox() crop leaves the mark sitting off-centre.
The bounding box is taken at alpha > 8 instead.
The login page had no name of its own -- it relied on the wordmark --
so it gets one as text, styled like the topbar's. Its screenshot is
retaken; the rest still show the old mark in the topbar.
Three things a licence audit turned up. None of them is a conflict --
every one of the 182 installed packages is permissive, and the relicence
was within the copyright holder's gift -- but all three are ways the
AGPL fails to stick.
The offer was hard-coded to this repository. Section 13 asks whoever
runs a modified version to offer *that* version's source, so every
deployment with a patch in it was pointing at the wrong tree, and would
have gone on doing so unless its operator noticed and edited the About
page. SOURCE_URL now sets it, alongside APP_NAME, and both the sign-in
page and About read it.
The offer was also only visible after signing in. Whoever is looking at
the sign-in form is interacting with the program over a network too, so
the footer carries it now.
And the two workspace packages declared no licence at all. Private, so
npm never minded, but anything reading the tree saw a blank where the
rest of the project says AGPL-3.0-or-later.
Checked both ways round: with SOURCE_URL set to a fork, the sign-in page
and About both point at the fork; with it unset, both fall back to this
repository.
