Unless you were using a modified version without making your changes available, why would this be a problem?

AGPL is viral, requiring you open source of all source involved in serving network clients, not only this AGPL software itself.

It's meant to close the serve-over-the-network loophole of the GPL.

thats only true if you use the code in a serving application.

If the SDK to connect is GPL and the backend service itself (never exposed to a user) is AGPL then you're fine.

I like the AGPL. The intent of AGPL is to encourage openness and collaboration, not to restrict or burden software developers. Many great projects choose this AGPL.
