I really wish people would stop dual-licensing with permissive licenses. This particular case seems pretty bad, and completely negates the whole point of releasing it under the AGPL in the first place, by having the BSL convert to Apache License in three years. Three years is no time at all, and after that it's like the AGPL never existed. I don't agree with releasing libraries under a permissive license, but that's of course the prerogative of the author. Businesses don't need to have their GPL fears coddled, they can and need to learn how to work with copylefted software.
