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.
ihasmail is webmail: it is nearly always run as a network service rather
than handed to anyone as a binary, which is the case the plain GPL does
not reach. The AGPL's section 13 does — anyone running a modified
ihasmail for other people has to offer them its source.
LICENSE is the full AGPL-3.0 text from gnu.org. The SPDX identifier
changes from GPL-3.0-or-later to AGPL-3.0-or-later in package.json, the
lockfile's own entry for it, and the About screen. Old commits and tags
are left exactly as they were; this is the license from here on.
The account locale came from `x:Account/get`, which needs `sysAccountGet` — a
permission the built-in `user` role is not given, so the setting silently fell
back to the browser locale for exactly the people most likely to have set it.
Stalwart 0.16 carries the same field on `x:AccountSettings`, whose
`sysAccountSettingsGet` *is* part of that role. Both are now asked for in one
request and whichever answers wins, so admins and older servers keep working.
That pair of replies also says which generation we are talking to: only 0.16+
can parse the method name at all. About now reports that, plus the edition
from /api/account where the server offers it. It does not report a version
number because Stalwart does not publish one to clients — it hardcodes a
public "1.0.0" and keeps the real version to its SMTP internals — so the
screen says what was actually detected rather than inventing precision.
Also adds a light/dark toggle to the top bar, left of the settings button. The
stored setting is three-way, so the button acts on the theme actually on
screen: whichever one you see, a click gives you the other. Choosing "match
system" again stays in Settings › Appearance, where a three-way choice belongs.
