As usual the FSF's GPL FAQ has some information that may be useful: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html
Erm, that FAQ doesn't actually cover the frequently-asked questions about GPLv3's patent-in-copyright or most aspects of the AGPL upgrade clause or most of the other content discussed in this thread. Most of the new FSF licences are not in its compatibility matrix. Why is it useful here? Why would you think think it's not already well-read?
For specific licence questions and concerns regarding the AGPLv3 I suggest email Brett Smith and the FSF licensing team at licensing@fsf.org. Speculating about the terms of the licence may not be the optimal way to understand it's implications.
It's usually faster and more verifiable when it works, though. What's licensing@fsf's current response time, resolution time and enquirer satisfaction rate?
Naturally FSFE's FTF is also glad to lend a hand where we can. You can contact me directly or email the FTF at ftf@fsfeurope.org.
What's FTF's response, resolution and satisfaction?
PS: Off-topic, but would you chaps be willing to help out with some practical licence usage questions I have? Sort of little market survey.
I would, but I think FSF would class me as off-message for documents-as-software and web applications... and probably GPLv3 too now.
