I guess you are referring to this
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2009/11/msg00000.html
and the related threads. Thanks for the reference, I had forgotten
that. I will re-read that thread and consider what you and others
have written.

Thanks for that.

I'm sorry to have apparently offended you. I didn't intend to imply
that you had suggested debian-legal. It seemed to me that
debian-legal was an obvious possible place for this conversation and I
was explaining why I chose not to use it.

Thanks again for your considered responses.

This kind of opposition to the AGPL is certainly not irrelevant to me.
Even though I'm still personally a fan of the AGPL, having seen again
these arguments (and seen that it's still considered a problem by
reasonable people) I'm probably not going to recommend it to the
project I mentioned in my head article.

Ian.
