While it is true that Grafana's new license is still FOSS not every company, public cloud provider is willing to accept the AGPLv3 license[1]. Hence a fork with the old license is not unlikely.

Google has the same OSS philosophy as Microsoft and the rest of the software community needs to pressure Google to change its stance on the AGPL.

That document is based on lies. AGPLv3 does not force you to make code running on a different server open-source.

True, but my point wasn't so much about the likelihood of a fork as whether or not it would be a good thing.
