We address that here: https://www.confluent.io/confluent-community-license-faq

Short answer: 1. AGPL doesn't actually solve this problem. This is why MongoDB just moved away from AGPL. 2. AGPL is quite restrictive for people who want to use the software in proprietary applications but don't want to open source their own code. This is a really large proportion of usage for us and we don't want to restrict people in that way.
