I second the above proposal.
For me the whole reason of the DFSG is so that our user would be able
to take all the software in main, use it, change it and distribute it
with minimal legal hassle. Due to reasons other people voiced in the
thread, I do not think GNU AGPL fulfill the implicit 'no legal
surprises' criteria.
