TBH I hadn’t noticed that it’s licensed under the AGPL. I haven’t studied that license closely but yeah, I guess for many companies it’s considered a liability.

- eitland 7y agoThanks anyway! I went ahead to study the FSF FAQ but they don't really answer it completely as far as I can see. The clear cut answers are: - if you combine your program with an AGPL program then your program has to become AGPL as well, just like the GPL. - if you use an AGPL program unmodified it doesn't seem like you have to distribute kt to users who use it over the network But as far as I can see the FAQ doesn't say what happens if the AGPL program reaches out to other applications to get data. For some reason I always though anything that was touched by the AGPL program, either over the network or otherwise would have to become AGPL. If that isn't the case - and there is more and more to suggest that, then I think FSF should point that out clearly.
