You can't add proprietary bits to their system without contributing those bits back so everyone can have them. Boo hoo.

- millstone 10y agoThis is the big conceit of copyleft licenses: that "derivative works" are exclusively "modified and extended versions of the program" to use the FSF's terminology, and not a small piece of a much larger system. It's easy to imagine wanting to add Pijul support to Tower, SourceTree, Gerrit, Phabricator, etc. - projects that all dwarf Pijul. But these projects will be unable or unwilling to risk doing so, because of the AGPL.
- st3v3r 10y agoI'm sorry, but that's nothing but FUD. Tell me exactly why those projects would be unable to integrate.
