| Some organisati ons prohibit AGPL or SSPL. The dual approach maximises compatibility, but some potential users will be lost. Better sustainable development with narrower adoption than broad adoption of an abandoned project. |

Summary
I propose dual licensing Emmett and Pongo under AGPLv3 and SSPL. Users choose which license suits their needs. The intention is to establish clear, flexible licensing for users and due diligence to prevent exploitation, enabling a sustainable model for maintainers.
🙏🥺 We're really open to your questions, suggestions and constructive criticism.
