This forces the derived work (mutt) to be AGPLv3. mutt is currently licensed with GPLv2 or later. This allows the derived work to be linked with an AGPLv3 library. If it were strictly GPLv2 only, then linking with an AGPLv3 library would not be permitted. If you don't want to create an AGPLv3 mutt, consider using a different HCACHE options (like lmdb).
