>You cannot change it and run it yourself, without hosting the source code.

Yes I can. It's only if I let other people use my changed code that they become entitled to a copy.

>You cannot combine an AGPL program with proprietary code and operate it, because you cannot release the proprietary code.

hmm, gotta say that sounds like the proprietary code is the thing infringing on my usage.




Well no, someone combining the proprietary code with the AGPL code infringes if they run that code such that it is exposed to visitors.


Depending on the license of the proprietary software and who is creating the software derived from both of them, that derivative work could easily be in violation of both licenses. lol
