Totally fair, thanks for responding!

> It would allow you to maintain a proprietary product with proprietary features that you don't release under the AGPL and use my code within that product.

As much as I can say "everything in my version is AGPL; this is just for _other_ companies" I don't know that there's a way to _legally_ guarantee it that wouldn't be easily circumventable, at least not without rendering the idea useless in one way or another.

So yeah, thanks for the insight, I really appreciate it!

Yeah, I thought about that, and unless you form a nonprofit with explicit governance requiring the release to all code, and the CLA is to the nonprofit, it would be difficult to guarantee. Even the nonprofit route isn't a guarantee, which is why I would evaluate each organization separately for their history and governance. It would likely take some time for a new organization to develop the reputation.
