The clause is Affero GPL 2(d), which means it is effective only when you are preparing derivative works. This is how GPL clause 2 starts: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: This is good enough to preserve freedom, since it prevents proprietary forks. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
