I love the GPL, but have never been able get exceited about the AGPL.

10:28 AM EDT 		Because the AGPL is a reasonaly popular license and probably will become more popular not that it comes from the FSF. "License proliferation" is a BS argument. The AGPL does not compete with the GPL or other licenses. It designed to solve a different problem.

Google of all people not supporting the AGPL is kinda backwards don't you think?

Doesn't most if not all of their software run over some kind of network?

So, the AGPL is popular. I presume there is a reason for that.
