This is interesting, especially this part:

> you must also publicly release any code that connects to an AGPL piece of software over a network. I fear the day that an HTTP server is built using AGPL. Think about it.

I don't think this is true, which part of the AGPL license implies that? It is my understanding that AGPL means that even if you don't redistribute the software with that license - you still need to put the sources online. Nothing about interaction of 3rd part software.

After all database servers are released under AGPL - like mongoDB among the popular ones.
