AGPL is a complicated and widely (mis-?)interpreted license. We should add a section of the README to make sure people realize this software is under an AGPL license (much the same as the C++ TetGen source) and add a few of our interpretations/notes.

Some things to note:

  • Simply importing this package into a new package might require adopting the AGPL license (e.g., import tetgen)
  • Including this in your dependencies (e.g., requirements.txt or setup.py) should not require adopting the AGPL license

@jokva, if you have some time, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you may be able to provide here

Perhaps we can give some examples of usage where you do and do not need to adopt AGPL

I'm not sure if this is the place to do it, especially since it's easy to get wrong. I would say just stating it clearly in the readme (or other landing page docs) and linking to the FSF and/or other references should be fine.
