Developers certainly can place restrictions on how their code is used.

In my view, if developers want to add those restrictions, via the Commons Clause or otherwise, they should not license their work under the AGPLv3 (or other Open Source licenses). It appears the courts do not agree though, at least in this case.



Well it's not AGPLv3, it's a modified version.
