Because? ...

I'd like to see your list of benefits vs disadvantages.

If I used an Affero program as a part of my for-profit website, would I
be requires to provide the entirety of my website code to all comers,
thereby creating competitors who are not in debt for the research and
development I used to create it? Would I need to consult a $400/hr
lawyer to answer this question? Would an Affero license put a chilling
effect on using its code to make money, and if so, would your job be
one of the victims?

I know that the same arguments could be made about GPL2's copyleft
facilities, but not to the same degree.

If I init my for-profit web-server using a series of Affero-licensed
daemon startup files, do I then need to supply my web code to those who
request it? Are you sure?
