Are you arguing that creating a program that interacts with another program is "modifying it"? Because then essentially all software is a derivative work of everything else and the entire industry is one giant copyright violation.
Come on. You're grasping at straws here. That makes zero sense. It goes against everything we know about how software licensing works. It is extremely well established that interacting with software through stable, external interfaces does not constitute creating a derivative work of the software.
- cxr 5y agoI am arguing, specifically, that your reverse proxy respects neither the spirit nor the letter of the AGPL and does not provide the kind of protections that you're claiming it would. (Separately, if ever the words "come on" make their way into your response, or you have to try to invent an argument for another person so that you can simultaneously take it down, then your own argument is probably junk. Here you've done both.)

(Separately, if you ever find yourself linking to completely unrelated comments by the person you are replying to in order to construct an attack on them personally, then your own argument is probably nonsense, and you're probably not a fun person to have around.)
