AGPL doesn't prevent running unmodified software and offering it as a service by large vendors. See the controversy around SSPL and the recent ElasticSearch fork by AWS - I suggest reading Kyle Mitchell's take on this: https://writing.kemitchell.com/2021/01/20/Righteous-Expedient-Wrong.html https://writing.kemitchell.com/2021/01/20/Righteous-Expedien... That said, I believe SSPL is an overkill, and what's needed for a less known SaaS product is a legally enforceable revenue-sharing mechanism - so it can benefit from being listed on popular platforms.
