Totally agree on the AGPL, it's an antiquated license designed for old models of software distribution. There isn't an approved OSI model that fits SaaS distribution without giving up all IP rights. While I'd like to live in a world where we don't need to get paid for our work, that's not reality.
If we want to have options to build open source software and distribute it without working for an Oracle or RedHat we need a license that allows us to share and work openly for the sake of innovation while still retaining some way of selling that software without giving up all the IP. It doesn't have to be the only license option, BSD, MIT and Apache are great for pure community building but we need another option that's approved and monitored by a body like the OSI.
