It is not unheard of for businesses in both the public and private sector to not allow AGPL code or use of applications released under this license.

For example, I worked at a public library for years, and the policy was no AGPL, even if we had no intention of touching the source. Same for a local university.

[Edit to add anecdote]

I know a few large scale corporations that license Mongo from 10gen including their commercial support. I really don't see any issue here.

Not all people trying to use meteor have the money for commercial licensing / support.

<sarcasm>Nice to see libraries and local universities are thinking ahead for when they want to modify the source code of their database </sarcasm>
