There’s some possible confusion on the license of your repository when you combine other open-source code.

The module usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py claims its license as the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL-3). However, the license of your whole project code is shown as the GPL-3 license in README.md, i.e., less strict than AGPL-3 on license terms, which has impacted the whole license compatibility in your repository and may bring legal and financial risks.

You can select another proper license for your repository, or update this license with exceptions for specific modules

Why the Affero GPL

Both the ordinary GNU GPL, version 3, and the GNU Affero GPL have text allowing you to link together modules under these two licenses in one program.
