I don't want to light that flame again, as there is nothing new about
it since last time we discussed it, so I personally have nothing to
add to what I said in previous threads and I just don't like to move
in circles discussing the same things all over again. I'm just writing
to confirm that there are some of us who don't consider AGPL as free
(even though I acknowledge that Debian as an organization does, for
the moment), and that in the last threads there have been some
scenarios described that where problematic. The consensus you seem to
describe does not exist.
