We won't change AGPL to LGPL as it would be against OCA commitement.

The OCA has no plan to mass commit a change of license. If the case, this kind of plan would be discussed in advanced and debated publicly.


Said so, any contributor is free to propose AGPL or LGPL (or even any license compatible with current core LGPL3) for their modules.

 I think this won't - and shouldn't  -  happen.

AFAICR from the license discussions, the OCA recommends the AGPL license, rather than LGPL.
Also, the original authors license choice is expected to be respected.

Regarding the modules I created for the OCA, my personal position as author is that the should remain AGPL:
Having other people to create and sell commercial versions of them without asking me is something I wouldn't  like to happen.
