Speaking for myself: please, no.
Although the GNU AfferoGPL v3 is currently [accepted] by Debian FTP
Masters, it's a [controversial] license that a [number of people]
(including [myself]) consider non-free.
[accepted]: <https://bugs.debian.org/495721#17>
[controversial]: <https://bugs.debian.org/495721#28>
[number of people]: <https://raw-output.org/20071120/agpl>
