Ah, in this case, this software is designed to maximize conversions to the paid commercial license, so they deliberately use the AGPL in a way which makes it inconvenient for your internal use. This is not common in software which does not have an alternative commercial license. I don't really appreciate this model because it is disrespectful of the copyright of third-party contributions.
- xyzzy_plugh 6y agoI agree with you, and this is where my concern lies: it's Open Source software, but I think that terminology is misleading (in the case of this software), where as, I find some of the close-but-no-cigar licenses much more "Open". So, while I see tremendous value in OSI's definition, I find it is somewhat of an impedance mismatch with what the average fool expects.
