Hmm. Orgs which ban AGPL should be marked and targeted for dismantling. Any way to scope them out, or public registry of them we can build? Orgs banning AGPL should not be allowed to exist at all, or use open source at all. They should all be systematically sabotaged by the OSS community, and if possible acquired/reformed, or destroyed.

And it would be very convenient for me to be able to relicense an AGPL contributor's work as if it were mine all along, like an evil genius capitalist, tee hee hee :3

But I would fork a project that tried it, and that is the attitude we should encourage.

Those aren't valid reasons for CLAs in my organizations and projects, since they do damage to AGPL as I envision it.

I wonder if there are other reasons for a genuine AGPL radical to support a CLA? Seems AGPL is good enough on its own, and most CLAs just weaken it - both technically and in a spiritual and ethical sense. Could we strengthen it instead?



Amazon bans it's developers from even viewing AGPL code on corporate devices. Good luck on your crusade.
