The code is AGPL, the images are not:
https://dev.launchpad.net/LaunchpadLicense

You can run an instance with the non-AGPL parts for development and
testing purposes. Launchpad is designed to allow a community of users
collaborate across projects. It is open source so that the community can
vet or extend the application to meet its needs. Running a single
instance divides the community, so it is not in the interest of
Launchpad engineers to to encourage users setting up their own
Launchpads.
