What the OP is talking about is an aggregate, ie. two distinct pieces of software talking to each other over an interface, which is explicitly "non-viral", cf. AGPL v3 § 5.

That being said, the AGPL v3 is on the more arduous side of things, so it's easier to avoid them completely in a business context.



Sure, that seems like a reasonable interpretation to me.

However, I don’t have any specific recommendation against AGPL v3. Accounting is just one specific field where licensing virality could have particularly complex implications.
