Is there a real reason not to use AGPL? The fact that it makes Google very uncomfortable[1] is a great selling point to me.

For the purposes of me being facetious, it's less infectious than v3. but yeah it would have the same impact on large corps I think
it's less infectious than v3

putting aside the argument about how infectious the GPL is in general, the the current AGPL is based on the GPL v3. it adds additional requirements. so how can it be less infectious than the GPL v3?

AGPL is arguably an EULA, not just a copyright license.
