The key difference is I do not care if companies use AGPLv3 software I have written. MongoDB predicated their business model on getting companies to license their code rather than use the AGPLv3 version of the codebase. > IANAL, but depending on who you ask, AGPL is deemed unenforcable or even misusing copyright legislation. No clue wrt AGPL (an old, crusty license), but GPLv3 was written with heavy involvement of the Software Freedom Law Center. The Affero paragraph (which is the only difference between AGPLv3 and GPLv3) was written by this same team at the same time. As a non-lawyer, I would presume the lawyers that were tasked with reviewing the various forms of the third revision of GPL licenses did their job.
