The AGPL does not use that wording, but the court chose to interpret it that way because the alternative interpretation that a licence could restrict how the original licensor can convey their work was deemed to incompatible with the principles of contract and copyright law.

- pie_flavor 5y agoThe 'you' in section 10 refers to the licensee, and section 7 is specifically about further restrictions as defined in section 10. It doesn't help that the AGPL didn't capitalize that phrase, but as the document defines it, conditions added by the copyright holder as opposed to licensees don't count as 'further restrictions'.
