The purpose of the Affero GPL is to make sure that modifications
put into public use become available to the community.
I think it achieves its purpose.

I do not want the license to try to do your other three goals.  Partly
I think they are wrong.  Partly I think they are ok, but but a free
software license should not try to do those things.

    We try to address all three of these problems not through a license,  
    but through a Code Access Policies and Download Agreements.

That is the right way to do these things, in the cases where they
ought to be done.
