I cannot see how the AGPL can qualify as a feee software license despite the FSF contention. If you modify the software, the AGPL makes you liable for some aspect of the run-time behaviour of the software on user systems, even if you released your changes in source form to the world. Nobody can accept such liability so this effectively prevent forks.
