Is there any sound reason to use AGPL3 license in this case? Is it to avoid private, non-public modifications by some future pijulhub.com? Something, somewhere

Is there any sound reason to use AGPL3 license in this case? Is it to avoid private, non-public modifications by some future pijulhub.com? Something, somewhere feels irrational in my head, especially when I think about popular projects like SQLite which seem to be doing just fine without the whole license thing.
- ue_ 10y agoThe case is simply that the authors probably have a different view of licensing, and wish that their code remains free software even when integrated in other products. It probably wouldn't help that much in the case of something like Github because Github uses their own version of git. Depending on the outlook, AGPL is simply there to fix a loophole in the GPL, and rightly so.
