Nonsense. The AGPL is a pretty nasty license to begin with, but this new license makes your software nearly useless.
For example: prior to this change, people could develop an extension to MongoDB which combined MongoDB with some GPLv3 software, and they could then freely redistribute that combined work.
Now they cannot.
MongoDB may as well be Oracle as far as most developers will care now (that isn't a compliment).
