What I'm saying is that they will have to be as soon as they accept an external contribution. The code they accept will be licensed under the AGPL by the contributor. A hosted-only version including both the contribution and hosted-only features would be a derived work, and thus require source disclosure under the terms of the AGPL.
(It is possible to keep stuff out of the "standard" distribution and only disclose when asked, but that seems like a whole lot of effort to maintain two identically licensed code bases.)
- roywashere 2y agoI worked for a company that had a GPLed product and provided services around it. Then they got scared that a big company might steal the product and SAAS it. Then they changed to AGPL. Then they figured selling add ons and hosting could be good business. By necessity our plugins were AGPL. Our customers could have put our plugins on GitHub but no one ever did (and there were hundreds!!!)
