Exactly that is likely to change with GPL v3, at least as an optional term of the license. <http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1758753,00.asp> quotes Richard Stalmman on rewriting the GPL as follows: "The issue of Web services has to be considered, he said. Some in the community are calling for a strong 'copyleft' license with code that is used and changed to be returned to all. Others want the opposite. I do not believe that we will be reach consensus on this front, so I believe the license will have to accommodate options as to the question of Web services, but this must be squared with the ideological pursuit of freedom," he said.
