We decided to use AGPL for Tradubi (and ScaleMT) because we do not felt
competent enough to contradict the Free Software Foundation when they
"recommend that people consider using the GNU AGPL for any software which
will commonly be run over a network" (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/index_html).
Apertium can be run over a network, but it make sense to use it as desktop
application as well. That is not the case with Tradubi and ScaleMT, which
can only be run over a network. If I am not wrong, standard GPL for cloud
applications can be considered as a non copyleft license.
By the way, I would not recommend to use Tradubi at this moment for any
task since its development is basically frozen and far from a stable
version.
