(technologist)">Henry Poole</a> met with <a href="/wiki/Richard_Stallman" title="Richard Stallman">Richard Stallman</a> in Amsterdam and discussed the issue of the GPLv2 license not requiring Web application providers to share source code with the users interacting with their software over a network. Over the following months, Stallman and Poole discussed approaches to solve the problem. In 2001, Poole founded Affero Inc. (a web services business), and he needed a license that would require distribution by other organizations who used Affero code to create derivative web services. At that time, Poole contacted <a href="/wiki/Bradley_M._Kuhn" title="Bradley M. Kuhn">Bradley M. Kuhn</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eben_Moglen" title="Eben Moglen">Eben Moglen</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation" title="Free Software Foundation">Free Software Foundation</a> to get advice on a new license that would resolve this matter in GPLv2. </p><p>Around late February 2002, Kuhn suggested, based on the idea of a <a href="/wiki/Quine_(computing)" title="Quine (computing)">quine</a> (a program that prints its own source code), that GPLv2 be supplemented with a section 2(d) that would require derivative works to maintain a "download source" feature that would provide complete and corresponding source code. Kuhn argued that there was precedent for such a requirement in GPLv2 section 2(c), which required preserving certain features by downstream distributors and modifiers.<sup id="cite_ref-Stet_and_AGPLV3_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stet_and_AGPLV3-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Moglen and Kuhn wrote the text of the proposed new section 2(d), and provided it to Poole, who then requested and received permission from the FSF to publish a derivative of GPLv2 for this purpose. In March 2002, Affero, Inc. published the original Affero General Public License (AGPLv1) for use with the Affero project and made the new license available for use by other <a href="/wiki/Software-as-a-service" class="mw-redirect" title="Software-as-a-service">software-as-a-service</a> developers.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The FSF contemplated including the special provision of AGPLv1 into GPLv3 but ultimately decided to publish a separate license, nearly identical to GPLv3 but containing a provision similar in purpose and effect to section 2(d) of AGPLv1. The new license was named the GNU Affero General Public License. Retaining the Affero name indicated its close historic relationship with AGPLv1. The GNU AGPL was given version number 3 for parity with the GPL, and the current GNU Affero General Public License is often abbreviated <i>AGPLv3</i>. </p><p>The finalized version of GNU AGPLv3<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was published by the FSF on November 19, 2007. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Compatibility_with_the_GPL">Compatibility with the GPL</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=GNU_Affero_General_Public_License&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Compatibility with the GPL"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Both versions of the AGPL, like the corresponding versions of the GNU GPL on which they are based, are <a href="/wiki/Copyleft#Strong_and_weak_copyleft" title="Copyleft">strong copyleft</a> licenses.

That is to say, one cannot distribute a single work formed by combining components covered by each license. </p><p>By contrast, the GPLv3 and GNU AGPLv3 licenses include clauses (in section 13 of each license) that together achieve a form of mutual compatibility for the two licenses.

MongoDB, RethinkDB, OpenERP, SugarCRM as well as WURFL all now utilize the AGPLv3 as a vehicle for dual commercial licensing. The AGPLv3 makes that generally easy to accomplish as the original copyright author has the rights to make a commercial license possible but nobody who receives the sourcecode itself through the APLv3 inherits that right. I am not sure if that was the intended use of the license, but that's at least what it's definitely being used for now.</i></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Licensing+in+a+Post+Copyright+World&rft.pub=lucumr.pocoo.org&rft.date=2013-07-23&rft.aulast=Ronacher&rft.aufirst=Armin&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Flucumr.pocoo.org%2F2013%2F7%2F23%2Flicensing%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AGNU+Affero+General+Public+License" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-16"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-16">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211023/https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license">"Server Side Public License (SSPL)"</a>. <i>MongoDB</i>.
