A dead project that was never popular to begin with gets to claim the word in perpetuity?

Interesting, how does it differ from DBOS?

It's under AGPL, you can't reasonably use it for anything except non-profit work.

So what does it mean? "You can make money off it even through hosting but if you modify the source doing this you need to publish your changes"? I think that's about it, right?

Not just that, you are thinking of something like the BSL. The AGPL is an EULA where if your whole app that's unrelated to the hosted software (e.g. your WordPress site is using Obelisk) it would have to be open source too.

Also incorrect.

You are not a lawyer, nor are you quoting any reasonable legal opinion written by one.
