People seem to be doing this. ArgyllCMS (cms = color management system) uses this model. I am not sure what the practical implications of this are. 99.9% of people just ship their calibration software to the user's desktop, so probably don't care if they have to make the ArgyllCMS source code available.

To me, the biggest problem with the AGPL is that nobody really knows what the implications are. A lot of people say a lot of things, but that's all we have. I find it to be a greater burden to figure out what the license actually means than to just pick another software system that uses a permissive license. Large companies like Google seem to agree with me.
