I've tried really hard to understand this a few times and yesterday or early today or something I found an interesting thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11354475 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11354475 reitanqild seems to misunderstand and the other posters fill in with more information. If the information in that thread is correct and I read it correctly it is totally fine to use an AGPL server that touches connects to a lot of stuff, it won't affect any of that. Only if you somehow touches the codebase of the AGPL licensed code by modifying it or creating a combined work then the AGPL will take effect in the same way as today - except that allowing access to a running instance over a network will trigger it too, not only distribution of the binaries or the code.
