I can definitely see how AGPL would give legal departments a collective heart attack. It's quite onerous, if triggered, and who wants to risk their job for a stupid piece of software?
Yep, many organizations banned it already and few guys are learning it the hard way that they should have. Google requires special approvals to even use AGPL in their network. It is kind of funny that these guys who want AGPL showed down your throat happily use non-AGPL code.
Better to ban it from the organisation.
