I am 100% behind this idea. I have brought up the subject before. I think it adds more guarantees of quid pro quo.

Hello,
What do you think about releasing all our 3.2 improvements under AGPL ? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html
Summary: the AGPL makes mandatory to release source code even if your software is an hosted one.
The AGPL is compatible with Koha, as Koha is GPL v2 *or later* http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility (AGPL is considered as a part of the GPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#SeparateAffero )
Of course, everything already existing, that is under GPL would stay as it.
I think it would be a good idea. Publishing the source code is not enough (we all know that getting 400 000 lines of code without hint, help and a git repo would be useless), but at least, that would clarify our motives.
