**However**, I’d like to take this opportunity and jump a step further. What would everybody think of switching to the AGPLv3 instead? The advantage that this provides, for those who don’t know, is a single additional restriction: when the software is used over the network, source code must still be provided. In other words, the requirements all remain the same (providing a copy of the source code, ensuring all modifications are also GPLed, etc.). The only difference is that the requirements take effect over the Internet rather than only when the software is distributed in object code form.
Honestly, I'm no big fan of strongly copyleft licenses, especially AGPL. In addition to scaring off corporate users (yes, even soulless for-profit drones deserve the right to use FLOSS), it creates a lot of uncertainty even for open source users. I would personally prefer something much permissive like MIT style.
