This would primarily affect third-party MediaWiki sites. Would a link to http://mediawiki.org/download be sufficient for AGPL compliance? (In the DFSG threat model of protecting a well-meaning reuser from a vindictive author.) Or, per the letter of the license, would we be required to keep a tarball on-site of what we're using?
