However, that was never the idea of the original report, and not what I would like to do. Does somebody else believe that adding 30k to base-files is too much because there are not packages in the base system using AGPL? AFAIK, "common licenses" means just that, common licenses, not "common licenses in the base system". I believe we would still benefit from adding the AGPL. Thanks.
