I get the concern. WeKan is a great example of why licensing boundaries matter.

That is exactly why I licensed the SDKs and the Frontend as MIT. Since the gateway is a standalone service and your application only links to the MIT-licensed SDK, there is no risk of infection. Your code stays MIT, it just talks to an AGPL service over the network.

I wanted the gateway to be protected (AGPL) while making integration (MIT) zero-risk for any project. The gateway should be self-contained and equal for my open-source version and the commercial solution that uses the gateway instead of building on it.

Thanks for the insight!
