I've only used them while using certain frameworks to dynamically generate queries referencing multiple tables. They end up getting turned into an implicit inner join though. The following queries are equivalent.
SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM a CROSS JOIN b
WHERE a.id = b.a_id
SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM a, b
WHERE a.id = b.a_id
SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.id = b.a_id
IIRC .NET's Entity Framework will (or at least used to) generate queries similar to this as well.
I mean yes, but also no. I was skeptical that I could get into the game after reading about it, but I played the free demo [1] and got hooked. After "beating" it about 80 hours in I've lost a bit of interest because it seemed a bit more like work than play to really scale things, but the 80 hours of enjoyment was worth it. Might come back to it at some point and try to make a megabase or try some mods.
JetBrains does a pretty good job making this a bit less painful. They have a license server you install that dishes out floating licenses to IDEs. Floating licenses are released after 2-3 days, so if someone isn't using the product it doesn't consume a license.
Can you explain your reasonings as to why you believe this? Also, can you explain how this perceived risk didn't apply to other products such as MongoDB?
I know of several fortune 500 companies that blanket ban AGPL. It's not just about the intent of the license. These multi million dollar lawyers can not agree beyond a shadow of a doubt AGPL is safe.
