moving to AGPL is "less permissive" than the apache license they currently use? no. this is just plain wrong. the supposedly less-permissive part is the CLA they are asking contributors to sign so they can dual-license the software in some situations, but the CLA isn't even written yet and they are actively listening to feedback from the community to determine how best to shape this license agreement so that all parties are happy.
