Yiftach (and Antirez),

Please talk more about AGPL. MongoDB has a similar problem, and they solved it by making their product dual-licensed, AGPL + commercial. They then clarified the AGPL to say that in their opinion, it did in fact prevent cloud providers from building managed services around the modules.

The AGPL is lengthy and a bit convoluted, so it's possible they're wrong. Could you talk through your reasoning?
