My personal opinion: we shouldn't let Google's bad policy poison our brains. The people who wrote that policy had their reasons for taking this position. It might have been the right thing for Google at the time the policy was written.

That doesn't mean it's the right position for you, or for every situation. Many organizations with a higher levels of maturity in open source matters will take a more nuanced approach when it comes to AGPLv3 licensed software.

That's the license working as intended, isn't it?

So a hyperscaler bans the AGPL? Shocking. Seems to be working as intended.

Their loss, at some point…

I'm quite fed up with this GAFAM FUD against the AGPL and the GPLv3.
