On a related subject, did you see that Skype lost a case in Munich, where they were accused of violating GPLv2? Some links:

Well, with vTiger out there, if you want a CRM app
without an ASP clause you know where to find it.
So one possible strategy that SugarCRM could be
following is to release and support under GPLv3
long enough to get any hosted CRM providers using
vTiger off of it, then start releasing new modules
under Affero.
