I don’t think so. It seems like the agpl covers everything this does as I don’t think agpl cares about interactive vs non-interactive. That being said, I hope people choose to use this new license.

The difference between GPLv3 and AGPLv3 is: 1. The name. 2. Section 13's title is changed from "Use with the GNU Affero General Public License" to "Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License" and this is inserted before its first paragraph: > Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph. 3. Some more is added about how the two licenses work with each other. The whole point of AGPL is to deal with users interactive with the program (but only remotely over computer networks...if they are interacting remotely with it but not via a computer network or if they are interacting locally then AGPL is effectively GPL).

  Consider this example: You download a FOPL version of something like cron. You make some changes to this code and run it on your internal servers to schedule some business process. Even though this software, not even the server, even catches a whiff of the internet, since the software has been “Deployed” for a commercial use case, the company is obliged to make the changes to the code publicly available. Simply, this license expands the distribution concept to commercial use, whether anyone else ever encounters it or not.
