I'm a big fan of AGPL + CLAs. It's a perfect balance where Free Software community gets what it wants (actively maintained, quality, free software that humanity at large can benefit from), while propriety community gets what it wants too (pay and get paid). People who complain about it are naive and entitled thinking that someone can build and maintain something non-trivial for them indefinitely by just pure altruistic sacrifice and just give it away for free. With AGPL + CLAs you get all the benefits of fully free software, while the copyright holders get something in return for their work: a competitive advantage and being able charge someone other than free software community. As a developer signing a CLAs it doesn't bother me at all - my work is freely available to everyone with a license that preserves that freedom for everyone, which is what I cared about. The fact that it can make money to the copyright holder doesn't cost me anything, and is a reward for value they shared. You don't get people bitching nearly as much about MIT, BSD, etc. where ones making most money on it are the usual big tech players in a position to resell it as a service or an appliance. Why does it bother anyone so much that company providing all that FOSS value will be in position to make money?
