> AGPL fixes this “loophole” in GPL by saying that if you use the software over a network, you are bound by the copyleft.

Isn't that basically everything? Loopback is a network, right? I like the general idea and I think AWS really cheated them (ethically), but I wonder if there's something better that's completely safe for small business to ignore as easily as something like the MIT license while forbidding use by huge providers like AWS.
