The user does have the freedom in forking the project and hosting it elsewhere. AGPL is actually about enforcing that the user has that option.

- kazinator 6y agoNo, you don't have that option for any site that matters. For instance, even if your bank uses nothing but AGPLed software, you can't just "git clone" their code and run your own fork of their online banking site. Or: even if Facebook were thoroughly AGPLed, running your own copy would be next to useless because only you and three other people would be there. Not having a copy of the exact software that services are running is not what is gnawing away at your freedom. It's completely the wrong problem to be focusing on.
