There&#x27;s a pretty large gap between &quot;$5,000 a year is reasonable&quot; and &quot;AGPLv3 is usable&quot; (or any GPL variant).<p>Speaking personally, the overwhelming majority of projects I work on can&#x27;t ever go near GPL, because the project itself does not want to catch the awful GPL virus. Even open-source projects, nearly all of the ones I touch are not GPL but are some other, much more sane, license like Apache, BSD, or MIT.
