Free Software Foundation Releases GNU Affero General Public License Version 3

BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA—Monday, November 19, 2007—The Free Software
Foundation (FSF) today published the GNU Affero General Public License
version 3 (GNU AGPLv3). This is a new license; it is based on version
3 of the GNU General Public License (GNU GPLv3), but has an additional
term to allow users who interact with the licensed software over a
network to receive the source for that program. By publishing this
license, the FSF aims to foster user and development communities
around network-oriented free software.

[...]

A first draft of the GNU AGPL was published on June 5, and a second
draft on August 14. The FSF heard comments on both through its
web-based feedback system. "The GNU AGPL is very much a community
license," said Peter Brown, executive director of the FSF. "The
feedback we received while working on GPLv3 demonstrated a clear
desire for this sort of license. And thanks to the community's help
during the drafting, we're happy that the GNU AGPL meets those needs."

The final license is published at
