On top of that, this clause is set to trigger upon granting network access to the program, not on modifying it. IANAL but my understanding is that AGPL still desperately wants to be an additive copyright license and not a contract/EULA so it only applies to copying and modifying source. In practice this seems more than a little unintuitive in its implications, But, OTOH, it does seem to help ensure that AGPL is less of a legal threat: if you are just casually deploying unmodified AGPL software, as far as I know, you don't really need to treat it differently from GPL. I'm definitely not going to argue it's a good license, but I think the strong distaste for it is a little unjustified, and seems like corporate lawyer FUD.
