> They are not entitled to know whether I used pen and paper, computer, software, whatever. You do realise that the AGPL does not apply to every software you could possibly ever use, and only to software whose copyright is held by someone else, that you downloaded, modified, and then used to answer such a question over a network, right? Sorry, I'm just bewildered at what you think the AGPL does, given your other responses in this thread so far. But to use your very example: if you used another person (instead of pen and paper or whatever), asked them the sum of the two numbers you were given, and they said they'd give you the answer, but only if you introduce them to whoever originally asked you the question when you respond to them with the answer, and you said "Yes" to them (thus entering into an oral contract), and then went back privately to the original asker and gave them the answer, without introducing the two people to each other, then you're in breach of contract.
