> I would only release via Affero-GPL from now on.

Fine with me. Do as you please.

Everyone else keep in mind that your potential userbase drops dramatically if you only offer your software under AGPL. Even adding a commercial option in addition makes AGPL more usable.




I always avoid AGPL altogether. The idea that if I change 1 line of code I now have to setup a public repository is just crazy to me. Unless my reading of the AGPL is entirely wrong?

Like with GPL you only have to provide source code on demand.

Also you can always link original project and provide patch applied.
