What if I don't care if other monetize my work?
An example: People monetize BSD all the time, -yet I rarely see them discussing licensing changes out in the open at least.
To take it even further: it seems like even if the source code is completely free companies gives back.
As for now my only reason to go with AGPL would be if I wanted to provide a dual licensed library, with AGPL for open source version and a separate commercial version.
I think for the time being I'd actually feel bad if I made a brilliant libary and only released it under AGPL. Why? Because it could have been even more useful to humanity if everyone (including other developers of commercial software like me) could use it.
