 The second version (AGPLv2) was published in November 2007, as a transitional license to allow an upgrade path from AGPLv1 to the GNU Affero General Public License (a variant of the original Affero GPL license that is compatible with GPLv3).Both versions of the Affero GPL were designed to close a perceived application service provider (ASP) "loophole" in the ordinary GPL, where, by using but not distributing the software, the copyleft provisions are not triggered.Each version differs from the version of the GNU GPL on which it is based in having an added provision addressing use of software over a computer network.
