Note that v3 shifts to AGPL, from GPL in prior versions.

Doesn't bother me personally, but I know a lot of companies won't touch AGPL'd projects with a bargepole so this probably worth bearing in mind.

then they must have rewritten the 2.0.97 tag from 2016 because it's AGPL also: https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog/blob/2.0.97/LI...

Github's identification is incorrect, the text is clearly the GPL and not AGPL. My guess is that github does its LICENSE-autodetect thing only on the default branch but displays it everywhere (this probably should be considered a bug?).

Gosh, I'm so sorry for spreading false information. Had that license widget not taken up so much screen real estate one might have had a fighting chance at spotting the error :-(

I dread tracking down which issue in the GitHub org that belongs to
