The problem with this is that OnlyOffice owns the copyright and used attribution agreements from any contributions. Meaning, as owners of the copyright, they are allowed to set the license. So if they applied the AGPL wrong, they aren't violating anyone else's copyright. If OnlyOffice has used someone else's AGPL code and then added these impossible restrictions, then I would agree.

They took AGPL3 and added a clause to it under a section where you're allowed to add clauses.

However in AGPL3 it says you're not allowed to add restrictions.

So in their own liscence it says they are not allowed to add restrictions beyond a certain scope.

And then they break that rule.

So I'd say their extra clause, according to they liscence they released, is invalid
