- _delirium 16y agoGitorious is one company run purely on AGPL software (though they wrote much of it themselves). They seem to think their main value proposition is the service and hosting, so don't much care about having the code itself open. The choice of AGPL seems to be to make sure that any competitors that start from their codebase have to use the same strategy. That's not as freedom-friendly as just letting anyone use it for any purpose, but at the very least, it doesn't seem less free than the usual SaaS strategy of keeping your server-side code completely closed (what their competitor GitHub does).
