The CorenSearchBot is wrong. I have not copied contents from http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html. I have copied it from the GNU Lesser General Public License page, which is part of Wikipedia.—Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasPetazzoni (talk • contribs) Nov 19, 2007 18:31
I am not completely sure why we have separate pages for the old AGPL and the new AGPLv3 that was recently released by the FSF. We should figure out if we want to merge them. I am not completely sure myself how to start that process, but I wanted to mention it here. -- bkuhn 21:30, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

It's a single sentence with a single person's opinion. If there's more significant criticisms of the AGPL, why aren't they here? And if there aren't, what is that section even doing here? AManNamedEdwan (talk) 03:24, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Agreed. Not an especially noteworthy individual in the field of licenses, and he doesn't give a particularly clear explanation of his argument. No-one else has responded, so I think it's time to delete. Prof Wrong (talk) 14:59, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
is it english? Binbesser (talk) 10:56, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
I propose to merge the Affero General Public License into GNU Affero General Public License (this article).
Affero General Public License is an article about an obsolete license whose relevance is only historical. The sources (in particular, the FSF license list) clearly point to GNU Affero General Public License as its successor, even though the former is not a version of the latter in the strict sense. Both articles have large subject overlap and very similar names, which is confusing. Merging both articles, after some copyediting, would allow us to upgrade this article to B-class, and perhaps to GA-class eventually. NicolausPrime (talk) 05:37, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Main body of article uses this phrase, makes it clear it's important to why the AGPL was created, but doesn't define it and there's not really a definition as such in the rest of the article. I came here wondering if this was the license that makes SaaS providers provide source to free software programs they use, and ended up... well, going to the GNU.org site instead. It seems rushed and people were so excited to write about the AGPL they forgot to actually slow down and include the per tenant facts. 2601:584:300:345E:EA62:88AD:9E06:DBD0 (talk) 04:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
