If the AGPL could prevent Amazon from publicly performing your software (let alone "using" it for SaaS, which is a hell of a lot more ambiguous), it wouldn't be any more DFSG- or OSI-compliant than the Commons Clause. As the other replies point out, the AGPL adds a copyleft clause that comes into play in these cases - nothing more than that.


Which de facto prevents Amazon from using the software. Hint: "prevent" has more than one colloquial meaning.
