Even if that wasn't directly targeted at me, I'll elaborate on my concern:

That it's possible to interpret the AGPL both ways (that the prior hack is legal, and that it is not), and that the project author could very well believe either one, suggests to me that the AGPL's terms aren't rigidly binding, but ultimately a kind of "don't do what the author thinks the license says, whatever that is".
