APL2 does not require the entire work to be distributed under APL2, so
the resulting licence would be APL2 with an additional clause to comply
with AGPLv3.

That is true and I noticed this. Therefore, I have removed access to the
sources until I have enough time and knowledge to work out optimal
licence conditions that do not break IP, APL2 and AGPLv3.
