I don't think I've seen anything under the AGPL. I don't have a strong
preference for adding it here or not, I was tempted to wait for patches and see
if anyone needed it.

The idea is the wildcards added should remove the need for the latter as people
can say "GPL-3.0* LGPL-3.0*" which I think is manageable.
