Is there a ticket/issue for this already?
Yeah, it is. But I think they’ve dialled it down quite a bit. Or do you still have som examples where they claim to be open source? It’s mostly users misunderstanding what OSS is.
The reason for the creation of AGPL is not “limiting” commercial use. It’s there, so that a company commercially using your AGPL project is also required to publish its changes under AGPL, even if the only way they “distribute” the software is as a Application Service Procider (SaaS company). Because under regular GPL, this case wasn’t covered, so big companies could use your code, modify it, offer it as a SaaS product and NOT publish their changes unter a free license.
AGPL specifically exists, so the rules around commercial SaaS use are clear – so I’d argue it’s the opposite of “limiting commercial use”.
