In some situations, that's exactly the point. When I want a license that everyone can use without thinking twice, including you, I take MIT/BSD. When I want people to consider their position on software freedom before they use my software, I use AGPL.

Perhaps other people don't use it that way, but for me: yes, Affero turns some people off. That's why I use it. To remind people: Hey, there is a world of aggressively free(dom) software where many people are happy. Why not join us?

No hard feelings, of course. I love MIT/BSD and use it in almost all my projects.
