Summary0011573: License notice of documentation mentions AGPL 2.1 or later, but there's no AGPL 2.1 (starts at 3.0).
DescriptionIt looks like the license notices used in the Sphinx sources of the documentation have a small issue, probably inherited from being LGPL 2.1+ at some point? It says e.g.:

```
  TALER is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the
  terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software
  Foundation; either version 2.1, or (at your option) any later version.
```

I don't believe there ever was a GNU Affero General Public License (I believe the first one was 3.0, still current).

The suggested text is:
```
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

It should of course be AGPLv3+, but I cannot find this. Which repo is this?

Hi Christian, you'll find such mentions ('either version 2.1') grepping in the taler-docs repository (master branch, commit 3626faf5).
