Good question: CUPS is licensed as GPLv2, which is listed on the Fedora licensing page as not compatible with AGPLv3+. The cups package has a requirement on ghostscript-cups, a sub-package of ghostscript. This sub-package provides the CUPS filter for converting PostScript or PDF to CUPS Raster format. CUPS filters are separate executables which follow a particular interface (see the filter(7) man page) regarding stdin, stdout, and stderr. Not being a linkage dependency, I wasn't expecting that to be affected by the Ghostscript license change to Affero GPL. But perhaps it would be? Tim. */
