I know some companies forbid the installation of AGPL software entirely.

  yeah AGPL seems to go father than many people are willing to accept. if i ship a device with copyleft code on it fair enough share the code. But AGPL is my device runs AGP code i have to share it. thats to much for me. if i am not distributing binaries i shouldn't have to share code.

      No, running AGPL programs does not require you to share the code. Modifying AGPL programs requires you to offer all users a copy of the source code. You can for example modify the code and offer it in a public github project and after you have made the modification make the github project private. Don't worry, this is a common misconception. Just running AGPL code doesn't obligate you to do anything

        This is correct, the network clause triggers only on modification of the AGPL program.

  And the large majority allow it.
