Their (gnu) perspective is highly debatable as it focuses on freedom of code. So if I release my full blown js app under agpl license (which we actually do!) and if I do it for a better good for the public (which we also do!) then their argument is invalid.

Read the entire gnu article. They cover this. What you are doing (releasing your app under agpl) is an example of what they argue should be done. They provide a link near end of article covering how to state license details, etc.

This discussion is about disabling JavaScript and my argument is that if I publish my app via agpl and disclose the source and do some good then there is no reason to disable JavaScript so the argument is not good for why people should disable JavaScript. Our app fulfills all their requirements yet it's a pure JS app.
