A new question has come to my mind: What would happen if you run an AGPLv3 program that was modified by someone else. I had a look at the license restrictions and found that it just says "Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software.", which IMO provides an easy way to circunvent this limitation of the license, please someone correct me if I'm wrong: If I get an AGPLv3 program, modify it, give my modifications (along with the source code and the license) to a third person, and that person uses it "as is" in a network environment, that 3rd person (who hasn't modified the program) wouldn't be included in section 13 restrictions, thus the protection would be circunvented, with the changes not being published in the network. Is anything wrong with my reasoning? Greetings, Miry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
