We came across some enterprises that are, by company policy, totally
prohibited from making use of AGPL software, even if in the case of a
CLI like this, should not trigger any copyleft requirements under normal
use.

This clarifies we are still able to cater to that audience if really
needed, as the contribution guide outlines.
