I'm not familiar with AGPL, but I will read up on it.  I tend to be more of a 
Berkeley-type license guy, but I know that doesn't necessarily work for 
everyone.  That's why I like Creative Commons licensing, where you can choose a 
license that works more or less like Berkeley, or one that works more or less 
like GPL, or whatever.  Of course, there may always be certain specific things 
that CC doesn't address.

I will observe that simpler usually works better in the long run than "better". 
 And I can tell you that I have already signed the Opscode Chef CLA, which I 
believe is similar to my very quick read of the Neo4j CLA.  I also encouraged 
my previous employer to sign the Opscode Chef CCLA (Corporate Contributors 
License Agreement), and you may want to consider having a similar CLA/CCLA 
arrangement.
