Photons are the sole free massless particles in the Standard-Model (SM) and light-waves are still studied with the linear Maxwellian theory. But, if we refer to massive formalisms, started by de Broglie-Proca, or non-linear by Euler-Heisenberg (for second order quantum electrodynamics) and Born-Infeld (to normalise the infinitesimal charge), and followers, surprising options emerge for our reading of the universe, including dark energy or compact objects as magnetars. A collaboration (CERN, London, Napoli, Rio de Janeiro, Tenerife) has found an effective mass for the photon proportional to the Lorentz(-Poincaré) Symmetry Violation (LSV), a group velocity differing from c and birefringence within the SM Extension (SME). Further, it determined three experimental or observational upper limits for the photon mass, published by the Particle Data Group, using solar wind satellite data and Fast Radio Bursts.
