You just have to be very careful to not have your developers to get even close to the AGPL source code, because if it’s similar, there’s a possibility the judge says you copied the AGPL code and now your license is AGPL too. There’s a reason companies are really scared about everything related to the license…

But yes, this happens and you have to have resources to fight it. Which is not easy.

Sadly, the more realistic option is that the judge dismisses the complaint because they don’t understand open source.

Happens sadly quite often.

Or it never encounters a judge because the author of the open source project doesn’t have the money to fight a megacorp in a court.
