AGPL is the license forcing the code to be open forever. It's the most free license, unlike BSD, which allows closing it and turning into proprietary software.

Free as in “user freedom” to do whatever the user wants. What type of Orwellian doublespeak is calling the AGPL that forces an ideology on the user “freedom”?

BSD provides more freedom to developers. (A)GPL provides a guarantee to users that the code will stay free forever.

Users don’t care about the code - developers do. The original code is free for developers and users. Which AGPL code do 99% of users care about?
