I think Affero is a bridge too far, as it basically prevents people
from making a profit using Free Software. Why not make it whatever
license is most used in Devuan (probably GPL2 or GPL3)?

I agree with spiralofhope not to use the "or later" designation, on any
license, for the exact reason he states. Stallman might not always
control the GPL: Perhaps some day Redhat will control it.
