User beware: Modified AGPLv3 removes freedoms, adds legal headaches
This echoes of the kind of v3 fuckery Linus Torvalds complained about in his GPLv3 objection recorded at DebConf &#x27;14. [0]<p>I&#x27;m a long-time Free&#x2F;Libre software user and advocate, but &quot;if the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.&quot; strikes me as a very strange thing for the license to include.<p>The copyright holder clearly has the authority to use whatever licensing terms they wish.  If they added restrictions, this clause is in direct conflict with their intentions.  Of course the court sided with the plaintiff.
