I didn’t mean to. I very much don’t know what would or wouldn’t be considered a violation. I think there’s a not-insane-or-bad-faith argument that each of these violate what AGPL is trying to do: force modifications to software into the public domain.

To the people who do love copyleft, I could imagine them not agreeing with a network being a clear line of modification, especially with how common distributed systems are.

For me and how I read it, I agree with you that it’s not. I also understand lawyers who don’t want to be the test case.
