> in the area of cloud computing, we are seeing a resurgence of interest in extremely strong copyleft licensing, such as the AGPL The problem with this statement is that NONE of the actual successful projects that are turning to the AGPL are making an open source play. Instead they are pursuing a dual licensing strategy. I love the GPL2 but I think it's time for the FSF to accept that because v3 and Affero overreach so much they have made software less free. I once began negotiating to pay for a dual licensed package and after several rounds of email, the lawyer finally revealed that the cost to my company would be $10,000 per host and 1/3 of our gross revenue. That is why where I work now, and everywhere I've ever worked, Affero and GPL3 is forbidden.
