That guy was talking about grayjay, a Client to follow creators on multiple platforms at the same time. Grayjay isn’t licensed under AGPL, but instead it uses the FUTO Temporary License. It technically still counts as source available, but I think the NC-Part is okay to have. AGPL would be nicer though especially bc of this.

The only thing I can see in their License that would make it non-free is the non-commercial redistribution part of it, which is not that bad

Which might be there to prevent legal troubles from YouTube.

it is. It prevents people from forking it an making their own versions and then distrubuting it. That is not foss,just source availible.

It doesn’t though? IANAL but as far as I can tell you can fork, modify and redistribute it as long as you provide the source code to your users .
It’s AGPL-3.0 so… tldrlegal.com/…/gnu-affero-general-public-license…
