So I may not put that code into an smtp server, or a webserver or or or
without getting onerous requirements.

We all agree: If you do not want to run AGPL stuff, there is no problem.

As I said: I do not see a difference between a license that does not

does not take away) and a license which theoretically grant it but puts
so many restrictions in it that one practically does not have it.
