Maybe you should talk about database maintainers and read up on the whole problem why things like the BSL and other licenses exist now. Amazon doesn't care, and I don't want to feed the dragon.

This project must be sustainable to survive, and honestly I don't care if AGPL doesn't work for your financial incentives. Then your incentives are the problem, not me providing it for free. If you cannot see the amount of maintenance a project like this requires, then I'd respond with: Take it or leave it.
