I've read the licence page of mongodb, found it under AGPL. Sorry for my poor English, I don't understand it well.

I want to build a public commercial website with mongodb, I just use it as my database, storing some data, and won't modify it. Do I need to:

open my source code of my website?
or pay for it?
