We said right from the beginning of this thread: popularity *and*
OSI-approval. It now has the latter, but not the former.

What is unfortunate for the community is the *spin* that we are
against the AGPL for business reasons. No, we just choose not to make
it one of the licenses available on Google Code. There are dozens and
dozens of others that are more popular, but we don't make available
either. The spin is marking us The Bad Guy, but we're doing exactly
what we said months ago, and we're continuing to follow our original
goal for project hosting: encourage the reduction of license
proliferation. That has been one of our goals since our launch in July
2006, and we don't intend to lose sight of it now.

Cheers,
