I asked about adding an identifier for the AGPL-2.0, and Jilayne
replied:

There's some list discussion around the AGPL-2.0 starting with [4].
My main concern would be preserving the bridge in case affero.org goes
down and someone wants to transition an AGPL-1.0-or-later project to
AGPL-3.0-or-later.  To mitigate my concerns (and avoid surprising
folks using AGPL-1.0-or-later), I've discussed the licenses available
in a <notes> entry.  And just to be safe, here's the whole license
text from [5] in a form that will be available in the Git history:

  AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

  Version 2, November 2007

  Copyright © 2007 Affero Inc.
  510 Third Street - Suite 225, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA

  This is version 2 of the Affero General Public License. It gives
  each licensee permission to distribute the Program or a work based
  on the Program (as defined in version 1 of the Affero GPL) under the
  GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or any later version.

  If the Program was licensed under version 1 of the Affero GPL "or
  any later version", no additional obligations are imposed on any
  author or copyright holder of the Program as a result of a
  licensee's choice to follow this version 2 of the Affero GPL.

<p>AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
<br/>Version 1, March 2002 </p>
</titleText>
<p>Copyright © 2002 Affero Inc.
<br/> 510 Third Street - Suite 225, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA</p>
<p>This license is a modified version of the GNU General Public License copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free
Software Foundation, Inc. made with their permission. Section 2(d) has been added to cover use of
software over a computer network.</p>
<p>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is
not allowed.</p>
<p>Preamble</p>
<p>The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By
contrast, the Affero General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This Public License applies to
most of Affero's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other
Affero software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.</p>
<p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. This General Public License is
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these
things.</p>
<p>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to
ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.</p>
<p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.</p>
<p>We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.</p>
<p>Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there
is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.</p>
<p>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
everyone's free use or not licensed at all.</p>
<p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.</p>

<p>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</p>
<list>
<item>
<bullet>0.</bullet>
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Affero General Public License. The
"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means
either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
<p>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what
the Program does.</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>1.</bullet>
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
<p>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>2.</bullet>
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based
on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section
1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
<list>
<item>
<bullet>a)</bullet>
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>b)</bullet>
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or
is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
all third parties under the terms of this License.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>c)</bullet>
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it,
when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there
is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally
print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
</item>
<item>
<bullet>d)</bullet>
If the Program as you received it is intended to interact with users through a computer
network and if, in the version you received, any user interacting with the Program was
given the opportunity to request transmission to that user of the Program's complete
source code, you must not remove that facility from your modified version of the Program
or work based on the Program, and must offer an equivalent opportunity for all users
interacting with your Program through a computer network to request immediate transmission
by HTTP of the complete source code of your modified version or other derivative work.
</item>
</list>
<p>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that
work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend
to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.</p>
<p>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work
written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.</p>
<p>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>3.</bullet>
You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code
or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of
the following:
<list>
<item>
<bullet>a)</bullet>
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,
</item>
<item>
<bullet>b)</bullet>
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party,
for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
</item>
<item>
<bullet>c)</bullet>
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding
source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if
you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord
with Subsection b above.)
</item>
</list>
<p>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to
it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules
it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of
the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.</p>
<p>If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>4.</bullet>
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>5.</bullet>
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else
grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>6.</bullet>
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>7.</bullet>
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be
to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
<p>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.</p>
<p>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system;
it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through
any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.</p>
<p>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>8.</bullet>
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
License.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>9.</bullet>
Affero Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Affero General Public License from
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
<p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number
of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following
the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by Affero,
Inc. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published by Affero, Inc.</p>
<p>You may also choose to redistribute modified versions of this program under any version of the
Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License version 3 or higher, so long as that
version of the GNU GPL includes terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those of this
license.</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>10.</bullet>
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by Affero, Inc., write to us; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
<p>NO WARRANTY</p>
</item>
<item>
<bullet>11.</bullet>
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
</item>
<item>
<bullet>12.</bullet>
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER,
OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
