There have been some changes in this.  Firstly, the relevant FAQ has
clarified some problems about whether servers must have the opportunity
to download client source code; see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.funambol.user/1391

Secondly, ftpmasters have a "working opinion" that AGPL meets the DFSG
and a rationale will apparently be added to this report; see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506042

I think all the remaining concerns which need addressing in that
rationale are around the vague/ambiguous terms, use cost and its
background. Out of the list of 8 URLs, only 2 remain relevant:-
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00032.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/03/msg00380.html

I think there may be some third-party circumvention loopholes, but the
DFSG don't require copyleft that actually works, so they're irrelevant.

Hope that helps,
