   I've had a thought about #AGPL. If a provider uses non-AGPL software to federate with one or more AGPL servers, does that software then become covered by the AGPL? Seems to me such a service would make what amounts to function calls to the AGPL server(s), similar to the RPC loophole the AGPL is designed to close.
   
   Put another way: is it possible to write an implementation of OStatus or ActivityPub that is not de facto AGPL. It most likely would have to interact with/make function calls to GNU Social, Mastodon, postActiv, PeerTube etc, all of which are AGPL

      Typo: "de facto AGPL" should have a question mark at the end
