Nice! What was the thought process for AGPL instead of something else ?

• dijit 2y ago
  AGPL is excellent for promoting the spirit of open source in this new world of web services (that are largely proprietary and SaaS). AGPL is useful also for preventing commercial improvements that don't make it back into the general product.

    It's a Free Software license, not an Open Source license.

      Definitely open source too: https://opensource.org/license/agpl-v3 https://opensource.org/license/agpl-v3 All free software licenses are open source licenses.

        Indeed, it happens that a subset of the freedoms ensured by the AGPL align with what the OSI wants, but that is not why the license exists. They are completely different movements. The original comment was: > AGPL is excellent for promoting the spirit of open source This statement is not about the practical compatibility of the license, this is a statement about what the license stands for. The license categorically does not stand for Open Source.

          OK, we agree on this, and the statement would probably be better phrased "AGPL is excellent for promoting the free software spirit".
