Hi Rhywek;

In fact we do not support the AGPL on code.google.com. We are actively
trying to fight the proliferation of licenses that are considered open
source and the AGPL both has very little market share and has not been
certified as being open source by the OSI.

It is also not okay to host an AGPL covered program on code.google.com
by saying it is GPL, as you are telling the users of the site one
thing, while meaning something else altogether. So sadly, the answer
is to remove your project and host somewhere else like sf or savannah.

Thanks.

Chris
