"This is triggered if the product or service can be accessed over a remote network interface, so it does not even require that the product or service is actually distributed."
Huh? Does that mean that if you do an HTTP request to an AGPL server, your client code must be AGPL compliant? That does not make sense...
- _ikke_ 4y agoNo, it means that you as a client are allowed to request and should be given the source code for that server.
- mormegil 4y agoNo, it just explains that whenever you make an HTTP request to an AGPL server, you are entitled to the source code of the server (under AGPL). Obviously, Google does not want to give you the source code to any of its services (which are generally accessible via HTTP), so it needs to be very careful not to get any of those under AGPL (which could happen by linking (not just HTTP-connecting) to AGPL libraries/software).
- hedora 4y agoDoubtful, "can be accessed" is unlikely to be interpreted as "can be used to access" by any reasonable court.
