Yes but most of the time in tools handling PDFs they are usually through the network. Would be a minefield if legal says the AGPL will affect every single microservice that interacts with your service. This is why there is a blanket AGPL ban at most tech companies. The AGPL is effectively an EULA.
- oliwarner 2y agoFirst, the quote talks about what I do privately. AGPL explicitly encourages me to do whatever the hell I like with it. I don't need another license. But broader, the interpretation that AGPL microservices are viral is just one interpretation. If it really is just a swappable backend interface, why should it affect other subsystems? IANAL but it seems pretty trivial to insulate a microservice with the same sort of GPL condom companies ship to avoid "linking" to (eg) the Kernel. https://medium.com/swlh/understanding-the-agpl-the-most-misunderstood-license-86fd1fe91275 https://medium.com/swlh/understanding-the-agpl-the-most-misu...
- raffraffraff 2y agoI laughed at "GPL condom". Well done.
