AGPL doesn’t require you to open source the entire stack. Only the changes you made to the AGPL software if you interact with over a network

AGPL does not and has not prevented hyperscalers from creating managed services for software licensed with it

That’s why mongo created the server side public license, which does require open sourcing the entire stack. MongoDB was AGPL before that



thank you for this tidbit i had no idea and am now more educated on FOSS licensing
