Sorry, this isn't really the case. The AGPL can be used in a predatory fashion. Projects that are AGPL'd are often dual licensed, with a commercial license for commercial applications and AGPL for experiments. I once negotiated for a couple of weeks to pay for an open source package that was dual licensed under the AGPL. I wanted to make small modifications to the source. The commercial terms were available on request, and I requested and got sort of tangential answers until finally the company's lawyer told me that I'd be liable for 15% of all revenue connected to the library in any way. If I had used the library first and asked for the terms later, I could have been in a very serious situation.
