The real problem is that they picked the AGPL, which has the Further Restrictions clause. If they didn’t want that, then they should have picked something else.

The real problem is that they picked the AGPL, which has the Further Restrictions clause. If they didn’t want that, then they should have picked something else. They could have created a custom license, but instead they proudly announced that they were choosing the AGPL, and they gained significant goodwill from that. This lawsuit demonstrates that they are either incompetent, or that they were attempting to use the AGPL in a fraudulent way.
