I downloaded it, fired it up locally, was presented with a login screen, closed it, and uninstalled it. Sorry, but I don't log into local software.

Apologies for the confusion here!
You can still do the above, and even charge for it! You’re just in the “hosted software” business, not the embrace-extend-extinguish business.
We love open-source and want to give back fully to the community. The AGPL felt like the most open license that still protects against outright theft — something we’ve unfortunately experienced in the past.
AGPL is perfect for this IMHO. The fact that so many people seem to think that even looking at the github page for an AGPL product will mean everything on Earth suddenly has to be AGPLed is their problem, not yours.
It's Freedom Zero because you certainly have the freedom to use it, along with a lot of other freedoms. But you have to adopt the license for the code it touches if you involve others in your Freedom Zero use of it.
If you connect to your database using an AGPL licensed db client, you don't have to change all your codebases to AGPL. Unless your code is a modification to the tool, and you are going to distribute it to others, it imposes no obligations whatsoever. It wouldn't even make logical sense. If you write a new browser or even a curl replacement and license it AGPL, and use it to curl Google, would G have to AGPL their entire giant monorepo?
Both my comment (code it touches) and the comment I replied to (sharing the fork) were about this case. Nowhere did I say there was any reason to worry about it if it wasn’t the case, or that it was the most common case. I imagined integrating a browser based SQL client into an enterprise app where you want to give users database access as a scenario where that part of the license might apply.
You can absolutely not only use agpl software, for free, you can even sell access to it. SO OVERBEARING
If you can't stand the burden of having to share with the next guy that which you yourself were given for free, there is no reason for anyone else to feel the tiniest bit of sympathy.
Feel free to write your own software and set whatever terms you like. Surely the need to write it and develop it to the point of actually being any good is not overbearing at all.
Or feel free to license software from someone selling it. Surely Oracle or IBM terms will not be overbearing at all.
Do people even hear themselves?
People say that but I remember when Mongo changed their license to some custom one that was similarish to AGPL and it didnt even matter because China just does not care.
You think that paid proprietary software does not have this property?
I was boggled that they were pleased to have been audited and blessed by fucking Microsoft.
Talk about "wind up in a lawsuit..." I am just trying to imagine freaking auditors from Gimp or Apache showing up and demanding to rifle through all your computers to make sure you aren't violating Gimp's GPL license.
But GPL or AGPL is overbearing.
People have somehow just lost any sense of rational perspective about just what is reasonable and unreasonable.
