I don't think that is really important in this case. It's up for upstreams to decide under which license they want to publish their code, and I'm sure everyone will have their reasons for the license they're using. I might agree with them or not, but it's their freedom of choose and I respect that. What I'm trying to find out is if AGPLv3 is compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. There's no point in starting a flame about which license is better, or about whether copyleft is good or bad or if it should be extended to others. The point, for me at least, is just to be aware of the consequences that having a program with that license will have both for Debian and its users, and whether we should put that stuff in main or not.
