@wwahammy@floss.social @delroth indeed, but before a plaintiff gets there, many in the community likely would have ostracized the offender.

I'm not sure how making an offer for source that users can neither see nor access, could possibly be argued as having actually made an offer, but IANAL.

Things like "I wrote a check but never mailed it" generally doesn't fly in courts.

Exactly what I thought. I don't think the arguments you're responding to are made in good faith anyway. The clue is here;

@delroth
> AGPL tries to enforce usage restrictions, which are against Free Software principles

Copyleft is not a "usage restriction", it's a prohibition on such restrictions (via proprietary re-use).

> via weird copyright hacks that don't really work

Factually wrong. GPL has been enforced in court on multiple occasions by SFLC, SFC and others.

@strypey @downey @delroth @wwahammy@floss.social I wouldn't go so far as to say arguments posted here are in bad faith. If one's objective here is to advance the cause of then we will naturally have debates, sometimes spirited ones, about the best ways to go about doing that.

Relatively speaking, AGPLv3 *is* less tested in courts compared to GPLv2.
