Hmm, my naive summary of AGPL is "If you run AGPL code in your web backend you are obliged to offer the backend source to everyone using a web client". No wonder it's explicitly forbidden at Google. What does that mean for a linker? If you ship a binary linked with an AGPL linker you need to offer the source of the linker? Or of the program being linked?

In practice I think it's pretty much equivalent to the GPL for a linker. But I can understand why people in commercial settings are wary of this license.

Instead of spreading FUD you could go read the AGPL.
