- DannyBee 11y agoBuzz, thanks for playing, see my response :) We aren't "ardently anti AGPL", we just don't use it or care. Certainly, I personally think it's a bad license for a bunch of reasons (related to my response, etc). But Google as whole simply doesn't publicly care one way or the other (IE isn't strongly AGPL). If you want to use it, great. We are fine not using it, and we tend not to contribute to AGPL software. Certainly you realize that with the amount of AGPL source code being so small and not really growing at any real rate, Google simply doesn't have to care? Why would we run around trying to stop the AGPL?
