Alas, it is not free/libre or Open Source, due to the restrictive license.

Unless you no longer have any code left that is a direct translation of
Satellite, you have written a derivative work, but aren't in compliance
with Satellite's AGPL license, which requires derivative works to be
licensed under the AGPL.

You have a few choices: continue to rewrite until no code translated from
Satellite remains, or relicense under the AGPL, or ask Satellite's author
for a waiver.  I hope you choose the second option, personally, as I would
like to use it as the core server of one of my projects, but I just can't
use it under your license.

Note: I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but it is not the
unauthorized practice of law either.
