Anything other than AGPLv3 is really just transferring wealth directly into the pockets of the beggar barons.

There is no reason those barons can't make money on top of AGPLv3 software too, its easy to comply with if they thought anyone would bother to enforce the license.

Also, if you have a desirable app that they want to make money off, they have the ability to just reimplement it from scratch, or make a protocol-compatible equivalent, so the license does not matter in the slightest to them.
