The proposal talks about using it, and that's enough to trigger the AGPL. This is a *very bad* thing IMO. For example, $dayjob would require that we work around this in our environment (i.e.: not deploy it). Please please please don't bring in an AGPL package. This isn't an ASF "category X" issue, since we are talking about usage. It's actually a larger issue for users though. Many legal departments would consider the use of software with that license to trigger the requirement for that organization to publish the source. -chip
