Well, for a start, the Affero/APSL clause is a restriction on use: the
GPL grants only freedoms from the restrictions imposed by Copyright
law. The Affero and APSL license impose additional restrictions in
exchange for granting some freedoms.

The APSL doesn't have an offer clause. And even if it did, hosting an
entire source distribution with working build scripts because I want
to have a listserv is an unreasonable burden.
