aGPLv3+ already says companies have to seek waiver for commercial use from the author.

GNU Affero General Public License V3 not say that. Citation needed.

Reread aGPLv3 and you are right.

These are non-commercial licenses: CC BY-NC, CC BY-NC-SA, and CC BY-NC-ND

`These licenses prohibit commercial use by default, and anyone wishing to use the work commercially must obtain explicit permission (a waiver or separate license) from the rights holder.

A one-time permission from the copyright holder allowing a specific user to use the work commercially. It does not change the license for others, only the recipient gains commercial rights. The original CC BY-NC terms (non-commercial for all others) remain.`
