Odoo thinks it is viral over the net? I've never seen that argument. It was only viral to modules running on the Odoo server. If you used XML-RPC to talk to it over the net, I don't think Odoo S.A. would claim you had to distribute your code.

Possibly I'm wrong again. Actually happy about it.

If the network part of AGPL only affects the original AGPL software then it even kind of makes sense although I still wouldn't use it myself except as an extortion scheme :-P

Well, I can't say I agree with your position on the AGPL. But as a side note, Odoo has recently been re-licensed as LGPL, so one can now distribute proprietary modules for it (and even sell them on the official Store).
