Actually I might be thinking of v2, but v3 doesn't seem much clearer. It clearly permits using the covered work in conjunction with GPLv3.
But if I combine an Affero program with a proprietary back end to create a web-facing application, is this now a "modified version"? Does Affero apply to the back end as well as the front end? I don't know, and with v2 there were plenty of reports that people were scared that it might. That "exception for GPL" could easily be taken to imply that it does.
Cheers,
