The terms of the AGPL are pretty easy to comply with

I think the “spreading” aspect is overstated. These are clearly Google’s internal docs that just happen to be accessible to the public.

The article:

> Ask yourself: why is documentation of internal-facing decisions like what software licenses to use being published in a public place? The answer is straightforward: to influence the public.

Quite a leap. Much more likely explanation is someone asked someone else to publish the open source docs and they did the minimum amount of censorship needed to get it out the door.

So Google is wrong for being secretive when not sharing, and wrong when they're not because clearly it's a ruse?

Heads I win, tails you lose. With that logic you can fit any action into what you already "know".

Where is anyone accusing Google of being secretive wrt AGPL decisions? The leap to try to accuse people of some kinda weird hypocrisy is a reach.
