So the PySol project wants to use the AGPLv3 and the forced distribution of source code is "a desirable effect", but it's distributed on the non-free most-source-unavailable Launchpad webapp? That makes almost as little sense to me as a GNU Project help site powered by Atlassian Confluence (which I reported to GNU webmasters ages ago and it's still there). At least Launchpad is free vapourware, but I think that's only if/when Sourceforge and Google Code quit, IIRC. I feel the best way to avoid webapps becoming more and more non-free is to reduce use of non-free webapps, to keep copies of as much of my data from non-free webapps as possible so I'm ready to move to free webapps as they become available, and to try replacing non-free webapps with free ones. I'll do that before forcing webapp-hosting users to become distributors. I still think free software is good enough that it'll win without the Affero compromise. If only the Affero advocates would actually try unambiguously free software webapps themselves before saying it's not enough! Do some advocate Affero because they find some non-free webapps irresistable, wish they had the source to those and see publishing more software with Affero clauses as a possible way of - eventually - getting the source of those non-free webapps?
