Why GPL2?

We realise that the GPL2 is not the most optimal licence for this type of Web application, and that the AGPL or permissive licences would have suited the project better.

However, LASS is under the GPL2 due to the inclusion, at time of writing, of the xapian-haystack search backend, which is indeed under the GPL2.
