  3. The trouble with the AGPL is its infringement on Freedom 0 (the freedom to use the software as you wish). This is why I think of it as a non-Free licence.

  4.  @Sekhatt  That’s a restriction on how the software is used, is it not?

  5. I think the FSF and others have made the point that the Apache licence gives stronger protections against patent trolls than MIT or BSD do.

  6. I use different licences. I’ve even been using CC licences for Python/shell scripts.

  7. I have a problem with the AGPL, in that it is the only purportedly-“free” licence that tries to limit Freedom 0 (the freedom to use the software as you wish). For this reason, I think of it as a non-Free licence.
