It matters whether proprietary relicensing is the primary use case for<br>
at least a couple of reasons. First, there is the long general history<br>
of this technique being used, in effect, as a disguised attempt to<br>

Do you by any chance have a pointer to the archives of the discussion of this use case as it related to the design and approval of AGPL (not just at OSI obnviously as it was brought here fully formed)? I realise the license was created independently of the companies abusing it, but the consideration of creation of license terms ripe for abuse would obviously still apply and I would like to study the prior discussion as I was only involved in the GPLv3 process and not the AGPL process.</div><div><br></div><div>S.</div><div>(personally)</div></div></div></div>
