AGPL does not prevent anything that anyone has any right to want. The more someone cries that agpl (or gpl3, or gpl-any) is "overbearing", the more they expose how they wish they could steal. You can't say one without saying the other, they are the same statement. And it's an extra level of amazing to need to steal something that's already free.

You can absolutely not only use agpl software, for free, you can even sell access to it. SO OVERBEARING

If you can't stand the burden of having to share with the next guy that which you yourself were given for free, there is no reason for anyone else to feel the tiniest bit of sympathy.

Feel free to write your own software and set whatever terms you like. Surely the need to write it and develop it to the point of actually being any good is not overbearing at all.

Or feel free to license software from someone selling it. Surely Oracle or IBM terms will not be overbearing at all.

Do people even hear themselves?
