Affero has questionable legal enforceability and its concrete requirements and reach are unclear. For example, it is unclear whether a public service that calls a public AGPL service must be AGPL. One might say no, but then would a public service calling an internally hosted version of that same public AGPL service be AGPL? If the answer is no, then AGPL is not enforceable. More importantly, this lack of clarity and other issues around Affero make it a poor choice of license, making lawyers nervous and developers shy away from it.
