Your scenario is nearly right.
What if the same person adds features to gcc as well.
Are those features AGPL or GPL as gcc is gpl.
I want then to be gpl, I think they would be AGPl.

<pre wrap="">Well, since the features added would be part of the work for which the
GPLv3 "will continue to apply", they will be GPLv3.
Any changes which can be isolated to a part covered by the GPLv3 will be
GPLv3. Only such changes as apply to the parts covered by the AGPL or
the work as a whole (i.e., glue connecting the two parts) will be AGPL.
At least that's how I read it.

It's how I read the AGPL - except the GPL3/13 allows conversion of the
GPL3 work to AGPL in which case the modifications could be AGPL.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that GPL3/13 that gives authority to do this, not AGP -
if the recipient chooses to act on that authority and do so.<br>
<br>
However, a summary of points will be collated on Monday for a request
of official clarification as per Shane's suggestion.<br>
<br>
I enjoyed the discussion, anyway... even though I got a little
overheated, so thanks all, for being so frank so that we could
understand each-others concerns and understandings.<br>
