Everyone is free to fork WebODF and at this moment there are 19 forks of it on github. So there is no single gatekeeper. We welcome everyone that contributes and we give active contributors favorable license costs for their closed commercial use. KO GmbH has chosen this license model to earn money that makes it possible to develop it further. As others have already observed, it is a large project.

I'm not arguing with any of that. Of course I understand why AGPL was chosen; if I was KO I would have done the same. But that kind of licensing is not something that I can trust, and all of those forks also need to be AGPL-licensed if I'm reading the license correctly.
