How do you handle closed-source programs that are based on GPL or AGPL licenses? i.e., closed-source programs that are derived from copyleft programs that are meant to remain open-source?

Great question. We currently only allow GPL-licensed algorithms to be open source as we continue to evaluate the best way to promote the virality of OSS licenses in compliance with license. However, some licenses (like AGPL) as simply too restrictive for us to support on the Algorithmia platform at this time.
