</div></div>Certainly not. AGPL is like GPL in that sense, with the extra rule<br>
that you must publish the source code even if you're only giving<br>
access over the network and not distributing binaries.<br>
<br>
I don't think an AGPL library makes much sense though.<br></blockquote><div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;display:inline">ALGPL makes sense then :)<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
