I wonder if there is some way that ActivityPub could be patented with license granted to all software licensed under the AGPL so all servers, clients would need to be source-available
You could think of some mad version of the AGPL that requires software that interoperates with yours to open its source, but I doubt it would fly in court.
Patenting an open standard (like activity pub) sound like an oxymoron.
