* Use of the AGPL-3 license which seems to be able to cover the ZSTD BSD licensce.
ZSTD is dual license BSD and GPL-2. So AGPL-3 is fine, as would be GPL-2 or GPL-3.
* Attach APGL-3 notice to all my source code files (excluding auto-generated Rcpp source code).
Ok.
* Add Facebook as author/contributor and add copyright notice for the ZSTD library -- should I add the main ZSTD contributor/author (Yann Collet)? (Attached at the bottom is my DESCRIPTION file).
I would use Yann Collet as author/contributor and Facebook only as copyright holder.
License: AGPL-3 | file LICENSE
What is the content of the LICENSE file? My suggestion would be something like this: Files: src/ZSTD/* Copyright: <as in the ZSTD files> License: BSD or GPL-2 URL: ... Files: * Copyright: 2019 Travers Ching License: <your license> (c.f. https://github.com/daqana/dqrng/blob/master/LICENSE) Greetings Ralf
