ATI believes that the use of Armory or Armoryd, licensed under the AGPL 3, as a backend application that interacts with any information from the Internet, causes all software in between Armoryd and the Internet to also be AGPL 3 licensed. Therefore, the source code is required to be publicly available.

This seems like a rather surprising position to take. It would, for instance, prohibit using an off-the-shelf commercial firewall between Armory and the Internet.

Agreed.

It's rather ironic that ATI couldn't, as things currently stand, host an armoryd-based service off of their own website at https://bitcoinarmory.com/.

https://bitcoinarmory.com/ is (currently) hosted with the help of CloudFlare's anti-DDOS service. Although CloudFlare (as a for-profit company) has chosen to open-source some of their software (good for them!), their platform is not completely open source.

Although I don't have a problem in general with "copyleft" licenses (and have used them myself), I find (just IHMO) the AGPL license to be far too restrictive for my taste (edited to add: especially ATI's interpretation of the AGPL license)....

Having said all that, if that's how the Armory devs would like to see their code used, I can/will respect those wishes.
