AGPL
The GNU Affero General Public License, the strongest copyleft license. It treats providing a service over a network as an act of distribution, thereby triggering the obligation to release source code.

AGPL treats "providing services over a network" as distribution, triggering open-source obligations
If Mononoke adopts GPL, only "distribution" triggers the open-source obligation; if it is AGPL, then Scion may trigger it simply by providing services externally.
Open-source license terms (such as the differences between Apache 2.0 and AGPL) directly affect whether a team can embed Reflex Agent into internal products, which is a step that must be verified during evaluation.
The AGPL license requires that any network service built on its code must make the complete source code available to users even if no executable files are distributed
AniLounge is live at AniLounge.net and is fully open-sourced under the AGPL license
Choosing the AGPL license can prevent commercial entities from free-riding on community code, but also limits the possibility of enterprise-level commercial integration to some extent
AGPL requires anyone who provides network services based on AGPL code to make their modified source code available under AGPL.
Antimatter is based entirely on Mattermost's free and open-source code (AGPL / Apache license) and does not touch any of the enterprise edition's closed-source components.
Mattermost adopts a dual-licensing model: the server core code uses AGPL, some client code uses Apache 2.0, and enterprise edition features are released separately in closed-source form.
Copyleft licenses such as GPL and AGPL require derivative works to be open-sourced under the same license, whereas permissive licenses such as MIT and Apache 2.0 allow use in closed-source commercial products.

The MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses permit commercial use and closed-source modifications, the GPL requires derivative works to also be open-sourced, and the AGPL requires open-sourcing even when software is provided as a service over a network.
