Yes, but are there any AGPL-licensed libraries? I've only seen runnable binaries licensed under AGPL. I can theoretically imagine one, "if you want to build a server application using my binary, I don't want you hiding my source code from your users", but even GPL-licensed libraries are rare, LGPL is more common.


Not a whole lot, at any rate. The poster child was probably BerkleyDB, but the current version is vended from a fork which still uses the pre-AGPL license terms

It is "dual licensed". AGPL and proprietary license according to Wikipedia

I am unsure how that works...
