I've reworded these sections, and added in some links to sources we found that gave us pause when considering GPL/AGPL. But seeing as this is about licenses, and that it's all hypothetical, it's perfectly fine to talk about "The case can be made..." In fact if it comes to legal action, the domain of licenses, it's all about making cases. Licenses, for all the precision, are not a series of executable statements that result in consistent output for consistent input, not if the courts get involved.

While AGPL can add a new class of protection to what we distribute, it can also open us to uncertainty about the foundation we're building upon (see links added). We just have to decide if the hypothetical upside is worth the equally hypothetical downside.
