switching project's license requires you to have a significant copyright ownership, I am quite sure admin-fe has more than 50% of it's code from vue-element-admin

MIT is AGPL compatible, so we should be able to relicense it. Either way, having something like "admin-fe is licenced under APGL. It is based on vue-element-admin, which is licensed under the MIT license" should work.

From the text of MIT license:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

I am not a license expert, but I undestand it as "as long as you are not the copyright owner you should distribute this software under an MIT license".

And even if I get it wrong relicensing it under AGPL just to keep consistency disallows the author to incorporate changes from us, which to me seems like a rude move tbh
