Each version differs from the version of the GNU GPL on which it is based in having an added provision addressing use of software over a computer network. This provision requires that the full source code be made available to any network user of the AGPL-licensed work, typically a web application."</div><div><br></div><div>ie. you probably don't want to use this in your startup :-)</div></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>- Alex</div></div>
