How so? Corporations can use and sell software and run services for money that use copyleft software if they want to if they abide by the terms of the license, and some do, whereas the TSL specifically disallows this. How does AGPL exclude "all non-OSS companies"? These companies are choosing not to use AGPL software; that doesn't make AGPL not an open source license. The AGPL doesn't even require source code publication when run over the network unless you modified the code, so if Timescale were licensed with AGPL, Amazon could directly offer Timescale as a service and not even need to provide a source code download link. AGPL obviously does not exclude other companies from merely using the software in other ways, so I really don't see how the TSL is "strictly more permissive".
