That’s unfortunate. When I bump into strange policies like this at my organization, I like to just get on their nerves about it. Mainly to make them suffer for it a little bit, but sometimes people turn out more reasonable than expected and something improves. It would be interesting to at least find out the reasoning behind the policy.
AGPL ;_; I was so excited to use this for work when I first heard about it but I guess that won’t be happening
This isn’t a knock, I’m just actually a bit sad I can’t try it because it fills a niche for a tool I’ve been desperately needing

Legal departments everywhere I’ve worked have just banned using anything licensed AGPL even as a binary.
