> If Github hosts AGPL code, does that mean that github's own code must be AGPL? Obviously not. What's the difference?

GitHub's TOS include granting them a separate license (i.e., not the GPL) to reproduce the GPL code in limited ways that are necessary for providing the hosting service. This means commonsense things like displaying the source text on a webpage, copying the data between servers, and so on.
