It does not restrict distribution, instead of restricts the ability to limit/restrict distribution. Quite a significant difference.
Also, fundamentally, one (AGPL) is putting the freedoms of the code and its users over those of the authors whereas the other (ELv2) puts the freedoms and interests of its authoring business over the freedom of the code and it's users.

Saying i cannot distribute something without providing the same freedoms given to me is still restricting what/how I distribute. > Also, fundamentally, one (AGPL) is putting the freedoms of the code and its users over those of the authors whereas the other (ELv2) puts the freedoms and interests of its authoring business over the freedom of the code and it's users. Yes. I fully agree. It's not like I haven't said something similar right but it's just discussing semantics at this point. So I'll stop. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34530039 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34530039 I despise licenses like Elastic's and wished SaaS would just use AGPL.
