Hi! Today we seem to live in a cloudy world, thus there are new risks regarding licensing which could make traditional copyleft totally useless, that for there is the AGPL, couldn't it be officially allowed in the licensing policies? When we want to have copyleft, we should be able to protect the software using such a license, too. It is already used inofficially by ownCloud, where the risk is obvious. It is possible to use GPL code in AGPL programs. Btw. (L)GPLv3 could be allowed, too, e.g. protecting against tivoisation. Nowadays KDE libraries get modularised and it gets ported to mobile platforms, thus it may become feasible to use KDE-code on tivoisated platforms in future, which can be addressed by those licenses.
