Perhaps. Can you give an exact pointer? I can't find any.

FWIW
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/FAQ#head-fe8f57ed5ae269aa6bab5f66ec22c40792b56e38 
says: "The project is available under the GNU General Public License, v2."

I think we need a clarification from the developer(s).

(The Fedora RPM explicitly says GPLv2. So _if_ Mercurial is GPLv2+ then 
from a license point of view the Fedora rpm is a derived product where 
the license has been changed. So Fedora RPMs are definitely NOT 
AGPL-compatible ;-)
