That depends if you agree that "to ensure cooperation"[1] under the
AGPL is open source.  I think it crosses the line into forced
publication, is non-free in important ways and is another example of
FSF's mission drift.


[1] - from the AGPL preamble.  Compare with ICA first principle first
word: voluntary.  Is ensured cooperation really cooperation?


It's probably better than twitter, but the actual engine of twitter
wasn't the difficult part.  It's all the interfaces, such as SMS and
other social media sites and so on.
