- gardenfelder 5y agoI don't think that's the case. AWS regularly runs AGPL-licensed systems as service in direct competition with the developers. AGPL, for the most part, patches some holes in the GPL license.
- j45 5y agoI could be wrong, but there seems to be a good amount of content regarding projects releasing AGPL to prevent commercial competitors from using the source code against the creator. Maybe Amazon is too big to fight?
