The AGPL is not about borrowing computers, or using some software at 
someone else's house, its about network access.
If I develop this super-cool AJAX Web2.0 Future-Application and provide 
the source-code, THAN I WANT other poeple to have access to 
modifications. If you take that code and add some extra-features and 
get a deal with google that they integrate it with GMail, I WANT 
GMail-users to know, that they are using free software, I WANT them to 
get Source-Code access and I WANT them to have the right to offer those 
services themselves.
The AGPL provides for this, the GPL doesnt. If you make your business of 
Application Services and don't want your users to get the code, than 
you are working against the common goal of software freedom and social 
solidarity.
