There's no good way to enforce that. There's not anything to enforce. The AGPL allows you to run the application for any purpose. (If you modify the source, you have to make the modified source available to all users, including over the network users.)

Oh, you're right on that one. Kind of entertaining that the AGPL is all about linking, and this is the linker.

The GPL is all about linking. The AGPL is about extending what it means to distribute the software to SAAS-like uses.
