IMO, the fact that lawyers can't even agree on the scope of the AGPL means that semantics are just that, semantics.

- javagram 6y agoAGPL is widely avoided by corporations precisely because of this problem... Corporations vastly prefer BSD/MIT style licenses or at most GPLv2. GPLv3 is avoided, AGPL is avoided even more.
- gowld 6y agoAGPL is avoided because cloud/server corporations know exactly what it means. It's expressly written to ban their business models. Likewise for GPLv3 and Tivoized corporations.
