AGPL makes it so if you change code in a server those changes must be open source. Its GPL over the network basically. I remind people of it because some people might want to customize for highly proprietary needs and not realize.
I love open source software but I also understand the need for proprietary software at the same time. It keeps your lights on and your family fed.
As a nitpick, AGPL allows anyone to modify the software and serve it, while only distributing the code to the people who are being served.
So if a AGPL DB is exposed over intranet only to a closed customer baseclosed customer base need to have the source code.
Like what RedHat is doing.
