As far as I understand it was never legally AGPL licensed, it was licensed on a custom license that just happened to merge AGPL and commons clause. The commons clause in this case is not an addition to existing AGPL licensed code.
- mintplant 5y agoI don't think this argument holds, because Section 7 refers to "this License", which the AGPL text defines specifically as: > "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License. Thus I don't think that references to "this License" within the portion of their custom license that is the verbatim AGPL text would automatically expand to also encompass the tacked-on Commons Clause text.
- josefx 5y agoOkay, if I read the court document correctly Section 7 explicitly refers to Section 10 to limit its scope and section 10 is explicitly about things a licensee (You) isn't allowed to do. So it cannot be applied to terms added by the licensor.
