I don't even think the OSI classifies AGPL as an Open Source license, does it. Open Source is Free Software, but that's because it can be relicensed to anything as long as its attribution requirements are held to. Free Software licenses are restrictive (to preserve the access of the user to the software they use.)

The OSI does count AGPL as Open Source: https://opensource.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0

"it can be relicensed to anything as long as its attribution requirements are held to" is not a requirement of Open Source: https://opensource.org/osd
