It doesn’t, you are free to use ZeroFS for commercial and closed source products.

This clarification is helpful, thanks! The README currently implies a slightly different take, perhaps it could be made more clear that it's suitable for use unmodified in closed source products:

> The AGPL license is suitable for open source projects, while commercial licenses are available for organizations requiring different terms.

I was a bit unclear on where the AGPL's network-interaction clause draws its boundaries- so the commercial license would only be needed for closed-source modifications/forks, or if statically linking ZeroFS crate into a larger proprietary Rust program, is that roughly it?
