Anyone around here know about licensing? This is about playerbots but related to the AC licensing. Right now pretty much all the files for playerbots start with this blurb
```

* and/or modify it under version 2 of the License, or (at your option), any later version.
```
Should that be updated to reference `GNU AGPL v3 license` and `under version 3 of the License` or should it remain as-is because when Yunfan Li's playerbots was first made, AC used v2 of the license?

Theorically the Fork has to follow the same or equivalent (that allows you to use the content of the fork or submit changes to the original code, because youre using the original code of the fork), but currently AC is in the point where they license being used might not the proper one, i would tell you <@882638651606056970> until AzerothCore-wotlk repo gets the licensing sorted, theorically you shoud just use the same (or equivalent to the same usage of origin code)

This is not true, AC was AGPLv3 when playerbots first came around

I see. Yes I just saw this note https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothco...pull/11076
> Please note that we are not changing the main license of AzerothCore, which has been AGPL since the creation of this project.
Based on both of your advices, I will make the minor edit and tell the folks at PB about it.
