AGPL is widely avoided by corporations precisely because of this problem...

Corporations vastly prefer BSD/MIT style licenses or at most GPLv2.

GPLv3 is avoided, AGPL is avoided even more.

AGPL is avoided because cloud/server corporations know exactly what it means. It's expressly written to ban their business models.

Likewise for GPLv3 and Tivoized corporations.
