AGPL preserves the freedoms that GPL doesn't.

I know what it means,. I also know how to take LGPL licensed software,
modify it, and distribute the resulting binary without the source code
used to create that binary, and remain in technical compliance with the
LGPL.

It also means that LibreOffice, or OOo, or whatever Apache renames it,
_if_ they decide to accept it, will also be providing support to those
distributors of repackaged LibO, or OOo.  Distributors that may, but
based on historical practice, will not be providing source code for
their modifications.
