I did create an issue about the AGPL: https://github.com/ory/editor/issues/392 Quoting some of my thoughts from that thread here:

> I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but the choice of AGPL makes this utterly unusable as part of a commercial web application.

> Not only would it require all frontend code to be open sourced, but if it's used in-process in the application server as recommended for server-side rendering (for accessibility or SEO), all backend code for that application process would need to be open sourced as well.

...

> If you want the largest usage (and, by extension, upstream contributions), I'd encourage a license like Apache, BSD, or MIT. React itself is licensed under the BSD 3-clause license to sidestep many of these issues! The ecosystem nowadays is such that the default is to fork on Github anyways and send pull requests upstream, so that the application can benefit from continuous upstream bugfixes and just use the mainline NPM version without needing to maintain a fork. There are so many incentives to contribute that I think many open source projects lose more than they gain by trying to formalize contractual obligations.
