   As many raise questions about #EuroOffice and the #AGPL license ( @nextcloud #Ionos...) my current recommendation is to read:

   * @fsf 's "You cannot use the #GNU (A)GPL to take #softwarefreedom away https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/agpl-is-not-a-tool-for-taking-freedom-away

   * and @bkuhn 's "#AGPL v3§7¶4 Empowers Users to Thwart #Badgeware" https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/apr/16/badgeware-onlyoffice-nextcloud-affero-gpl/
