If the software takes the form of a library, that approach might work as intended, but AGPL does not forbid commercial use in general. To copy from [0]: The basic obligations of the AGPL which set it apart from other licenses are as follows: • Any derivative works of AGPL-licensed software must also use the AGPL. • Any users of such software are entitled to the source code under the terms of the AGPL, including users accessing it over the network such as with their web browser or via an API or internet protocol. If you’re using AGPL-licensed software like a database engine or my own AGPL-licensed works, and you haven’t made any changes to the source code, all you have to do is provide a link to the upstream source code somewhere, and if users ask for it, direct them there. If you have modified the software, you simply have to publish your modifications.
