I don't think anyone could argue that if you had an AGPL HTTP server that the AGPL would be applicable to browsers that connected to the server. So if the Mongo protocol is presented as an open protocol it seems unambiguous. Though if someone created an "open" protocol to someone else's AGPL code with the clear intention of bypassing the AGPL... it might get weird and awkward.

Right, but I don't think anyone is arguing that. Its when you modify the AGPL server code, and open that up, you have to release your modification. So in you AGPL HTTP server example, the clients never are required to be open, but any changes you make to the server must have the source available.
