I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is that the GNU AGPLv3 is merely a variant of the GNU GPLv3 which adds a condition aimed at closing the "application service provider loophole" in much the same way as the original Affero GPL. So given that we disallow dependencies licensed under GPLv3 and AGPL, the same concerns would seem to apply to the AGPLv3 as well. It might merit expressly mentioning AGPLv3 in our licensing reference, though I expect this was assumed to be sufficiently clear on that point already. -- Jeremy Stanley
