Missing and incompatible licensing

@epoberezkin
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/simplex-chat/website/#information
used to say
AGPLv1-or-later, whereas now it says AGPLv3-only

Those aren't compatible, and neither is compatible with what is effectively a proprietary
source repo. There should be a license file in the form of "LICENSE" or "COPYING".

As for licensing, all AGPLv3-or-later works.
That needs everyone in https://github.com/simplex-chat/website/graphs/contributors to agree.

Adding some insult to injury, the Weblate repo now has a CLA

If you add "kingu" as an admin on Weblate I can look for other things to fix :)

@comradekingu sorry for the confusion, I've chosen the same license that we have in the app - I don't think AGPL has a later version than v3, so why it should be "AGPL v3 or later"?

We do have license in the repo here: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/blob/stable/LICENSE

Maybe I misunderstand...

I think all open-source projects absolutely must have some simple CLA, as otherwise we would have an IP that is difficult to finance, hand over to any non-profit or put in public domain. SQLLite position because of that is to not accept any contribution and re-implement any suggestions internally, which I think is taking it a bit too far, but I don't see any problem with it - I accepted quite a few of them. Happy to amend if some terms seem erroneous – please let me know.

btw this repo is deprecated - we should archive it - and website source is now in simplex-chat repo...
