AFAIK that's not completely true. You can make money with an open source 
project even if it's using an AGPLv3 licensed library without having to 
pay a license fee to the owner of the AGPLv3 library. The only 
obligation is that your complete project will be AGPLv3 licensed. You 
cannot create a closed source project when you use AGPLv3 licensed code.
