If I write a git pre-commit script for my repo in githaven, is that forced to be agpl?

I'm using githaven and yes.

If I want Geckoboard to show a chart of how many githaven commit per day I did, do I need to agpl geckoboard.com?

I don't know.

I'm not a lawyer. This is my interpretation and I would like comments.

<gnu.org> In AGPLv3, what counts as “interacting with [the software] remotely through a computer network?”

<gnu.org> If the program is expressly designed to accept user requests and send responses over a network, then it meets these criteria. Common examples of programs that would fall into this category include web and mail servers, interactive web-based applications, and servers for games that are played online.



AGPL only grants an exception to GPL code. Not the unlicensed and presumed to be owned by the person who wrote it code.


Nitpick: Well I would say precommit hooks interact with git and not githaven.
