That's a really nice way of making it clear, thank you.
I suspect that people who like the GPL but not the AGPL don't develop web applications. It makes no sense to license a web application under the GPL, as it is in that circumstance no longer a copyleft license.
An open source web application should either be licensed with BSD or with AGPL.

it depends on how much you worry about the cloud subscription model.
if that's a huge worry for you, then the GPL doesn't help you much, but if you think that the app is far more likely to be run on people's servers, then the GPL is just as good for a web app as it is for any other app.
