We ship package building software which produces source and binary
packages.  You just copy all of them and are compliant.

We currently do not ship a licensing server that helps users with AGPL
compliance.

My main concern with the license is that compliance is difficult even
for those who have no problem whatsoever with sharing their boring
local changes.  I'm concerned that we're heading to the Linux (kernel)
land where Android and others have made GPL compliance a farce.
