  Say I have a blog, that is created by some software. Assume that
  software contains AGPL code. Am I allowed to run a server that only
  serves my blog without paying for anything or anyone else?
  With AGPL the answer is no. Thus I consider it non-free.

 Yes, first because you have not modified the AGPL software.

Of course. But who does not modify software? And why should I lose my
rights to run the software just because I modified it?

 But even if
 you did modify it, and even if your blog supports the remote network
 interaction all you have to do is to offer to provide source code.

So you agree that AGPL forbids me running only a blog, or what is that
sentence supposed to say?

 I don't understand what is the restriction on running the software. The
 AGPL does not say anything about proxies and firewalls. You can have
 them, or not; it does not care AFAICS.

The reason for there being an AGPL was thus: People started offering web
services based on GPL software. RMS would have liked to obtain the source
code. The GPL did not force the people to disclose their source code,
because it only restricts distribution, not use. And the web services were
only used, not distributed.
Hence the AGPL restricts use by design.

The above is not intended to convey my opinion on the AGPL, just to prove
that it does in fact restrict use.

Best regards,
