Only $100/yr? Likely that is the problem then. Who's going to bother filing a P.O. with their mega company for only that amount?

There's not anything to enforce. The AGPL allows you to run the application for any purpose. (If you modify the source, you have to make the modified source available to all users, including over the network users.)
