What do you mean "only if modifications are made"? Can you cite the part of the license you read that way? I certainly had the impression that, just like the GPL, the AGPL required making the source available whenever conveying, regardless of modified status. It is *not* okay under AGPL to have a situation like this (at least as I believe at this time and want to be true): 1. I publish code under AGPL 2. You get my code 3. My website that publishes the source disappears 4. You publish the software via giving people access over a server, make no modifications, and refuse to share the source. Under the GPL or AGPL, anyone doing the conveying is responsible for providing the source code. That responsibility doesn't come into play only if you modify the code.
