*You* can use AGPL'd code for any purpose, but making it available for
others to use is not *you* using it for a purpose, so it's not a freedom
zero issue.
The practice of "making it available for others to use" is more similar to
"giving copies to others", which the GPL has always attached requirements
to.
no?
