This kind of license also makes it possible for the many contributors to OpenERP to know that their code will remain free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.
I prefer LIBERATING to VIRAL.

Hi Alexandre, in my opinion as a non-lawyer it is also the license. In their FAQ, GNU claims that a module for a specific program is subject to a viral license. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLModuleLicense The copyright holders can license their code otherwise of course, but anyone using it as a module in OpenERP is effectively relicencing the code as AGPL. And these users are only allowed to do that if AGPL is an existing licencing option granted by the copyright holders.
