Wonderful!

An AGPL-like license without the enmity that Stallman and GPL have.

IANAL, but I skimmed it and I see:

* a patent grant

* no extra clauses

* static/dynamic linking seems fine with compatible licenses (edit: unclear to me if proprietary can link (edit2: I find articles stating this is not viral and linking is always permitted, but there are section covering "essential functionality" in the license, so shim layers should not be allowed?))

* modifying for SaaS is redistributing

* clear list of compatible licenses (notably excluded: BSD/MIT/Apache)

* you can use both "this version" or "or later"

* trademarks not included

* no liability, except for "willful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural persons". Does not exclude from other law requirements.
