Affero GPL: fear and loathing, or ignorance and indifference?

A friend of mine tried to set up a project on SourceForge using the Affero GPL. Six months later they got back to him and added the AGPL to their (loooong) list of supported licenses. To date, Google Code doesn't support the AGPL. Granted, Google may not be particularly interested in the AGPL from a business standpoint (they want to make money off hosting and one-to-many-many-many services). SourceForge seems to have gotten over its queasiness. Does Google have something against the AGPL, or do they just not think about it?

You're trying to guilt me into finally uploading the code, aren't you? Did Diana put you up to this?

Whoops, didn't notice that... maybe this will spur a clamor for your code.
