I really can't say whether that's correct or not. IANAL.
The licence in terms says you must give Corresponding Source to users "interacting with it remotely through a computer network". Does it suffice if I initiate a connection to a public $bigCorp server (and receive "access denied")? Or must I be able to successfully connect?
Maybe $bigCorp could put a proprietary authentication proxy in-between to avoid me "interacting with" the software. So, let me narrow my comment to address what you've said.
If $bigCorp wants to rent me access to improved versions of my software, they should give me the changes.
- pabs3 4y agoYour revised comment is definitely correct now. Not sure about your questions since IANAL but I guess it depends on the details of how $bigCorp's server setup works. If they have some other software that controls access to the AGPLed software, then maybe they don't have to give non-customers source code. If the login form comes from the AGPLed software, but non-customers don't have a login, then maybe the non-customers do interact with the software in a limited way, so source code obligations may come into play.
