By using aggressive open source licenses like AGPLv3 you have to do more work to keep the door open for yourself to profit later if you so choose, it’s a bad personal economic choice, and while some view it as the ultimate in altruism to prevent this, it’s also an act of denial, everyone who could have used it inside companies or projects that can’t change their license to be compatible are denied the ability to use the code.
Also hot damn, the AFPL license is super aggressive, makes AGPLv3 look downright business friendly: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_Free_Public_License
Too bad that rewriting something doesn't transfer copyright :D
Ideas aren't copyrightable. IANAL
That's it. I have no plans for using anything more liberal than lgpl ever.

Not really… they distribute under whatever license they got it from.
