I agree.

In the current state of OSS, if you AGPL something meaningful, someone else will re-slopfactor into MIT and take the credit, while being glorified for providing a more "open" alternative.

Or they just ask the AI to port your AGPL code into their proprietary codebase and not tell anyone.

Enforcement of license violations in the age of AI needs a 180.
