I have some questions about AGPL if anyone has answers:
1. If you have code, let's say FooProject, that's AGPL. In which of these scenarios is someone in the wrong for using it?
1a. Google uses FooProject in delivering one GoogleApi, but does not opensource GoogleApi with AGPL.
1b. Facebook uses FooProject in an internal project, FacebookInternal, that's not exposed to the internet, but does not open source FacebookInternal with AGPL.
1c. Microsoft uses FooProject in a special version of Office, which is only distributed via BluRay and does not open source Office under AGPL.
1d. Netflix uses FooProject in AlienNetflixViewer, which is used over the internet, and makes some modifications to FooProject as its used in AlienNetflixViewer. They open source ModifiedFooProject under AGPL, but not AlienNetflixViewer
2. If you have FooProject, and you have 3 libarires, LibraryOne, LibraryTwo, and LibraryThree included in FooProject that are under the MIT license, can someone take Library[Number] and use it under the MIT license? Let's assume these are not actually separate projects, and for all intents and purposes it's the same project as FooProject, but for whatever reason the folders associated with each library has its own license.
3. Assuming someone uses an AGPL project and does not follow the license, what's the penalty? What if its so incorporated into its project its effectively impossible to remove?
4. How do you enforce someone using the AGPL?
5. If you go to a public facing site and suspect that they're using an AGPL project (perhaps because of the nature of the API calls or the client facing JavaScript) can you demand to see the full source?
