Why would AGPL have made it a no-go for Substack? Also, it looks like Ghost wants to collab but there's nothing from Substack in the Twitter thread you linekd?

- ushakov 4y ago> Ghost wants to collab but there's nothing from Substack Substack doesn't have to "collaborate" do they?
- giantrobot 4y agoBecause AGPL infects their entire service. You'll be hard pressed to find any commercial service adopting AGPL projects. Even the GPLv3 is often immiscible with commercial services. At least GPLv3 can be contained to only part of your stack.
