However, Stallman’s Free Software Foundation released its own version, this time based on GPL v3, in 2007, keeping “Affero” in the name as a nod to this history. The original Affero GPL was based on GPL v2 and released in 2002 - not by Richard Stallman, but by Henry Poole for his software startup, Affero, Inc. Like the GPLs, the AGPL is a strong copyleft license. All of these open source licenses are part of Richard Stallman’s GNU Project, a free and open source operating system and accompanying philosophy regarding the sharing and modification of software. As its name implies, the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) is part of the GNU GPL family, which also includes the LGPL License, GPL v2, and GPL v3.
