Things like this, https://www.ghostscript.com/faq.html in the 'Can I embed Ghostscript in my own apps?' section:

"The AGPL explicitly prohibits the deployment of AGPL software in a SaaS (Software as a Service) environment unless all of the software on the server (including the operating system software) is also released under the AGPL with full source code."

BS like this confuses the otherwise very clear language of the license itself. Removing the arms-length uses of GS from our SaaS because nobody wants any possible legal problems.
