After further thought, I guess this "moving of secret sauce" is only
possible in GPL, because the license doesn't cross API boundaries. IIRC
this wouldn't be possible at all in AGPL.
I also realized just now that "moving of secret sauce" is actually a good
thing from a security and privacy perspective; the secrets are now in a
smaller black box, which means it is easier to restrict the amount of data
shared with these boxes.
So, I am beginning to like GPL, but I am still not in favour of AGPL.
