I would recommend GPLv3, I'm using it on node-oauth-libre and that hasn't deterred people from making contributions.

The nice thing is that GPLv3 means contributions must be shared but if you're running Modest on the server-side, you aren't obligated to make the code publicly available (which is what AGPL would require).

Hi @omouse ! Thanks, but I think that GPLv3 is too limited. Need to think about it.

@lexborisov can you just stick with Apache license for now? It's hard to contribute without knowing the license.
