Hi!

Today we seem to live in a cloudy world, thus there are new risks 
regarding licensing which could make traditional copyleft totally 
useless, that for there is the AGPL, couldn't it be officially allowed 
in the licensing policies? When we want to have copyleft, we should be 
able to protect the software using such a license, too. It is already 
used inofficially by ownCloud, where the risk is obvious. It is 
possible to use GPL code in AGPL programs. Btw. (L)GPLv3 could be 
allowed, too, e.g. protecting against tivoisation. Nowadays KDE 
libraries get modularised and it gets ported to mobile platforms, thus 
it may become feasible to use KDE-code on tivoisated platforms in 
future, which can be addressed by those licenses.

Regards
Jonathan
