Interesting to know why exactly this license because GNU GPL3 is more common.

> The GNU Affero General Public License is a modified version of the ordinary GNU GPL version 3. It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.

> The purpose of the GNU Affero GPL is to prevent a problem that affects developers of free programs that are often used on servers.

AGPL is GPL3 but better IMO.

indeed, tpxl is right. Affero GPL fits well for Web software (services provided by a server).
