From section 13 of the license (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html):
> if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network [...] an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version [...]
From the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
> interact, verb: to act upon one another
When distributing a binary from a compiler to a user, the user does not act upon the compiler. So the user is not interacting with the compiler, so you don't need to distribute your modified compiler's code any more than you would with the GPL.
- kazinator 2y agoThat's not what is in question. Of course if you someone has reason to comply with section 13 of the license, then users who download the code are having the code distributed to them. The disputed claim is that users who interact with a remote program are, by that interaction, being distributed the program. The GNU AGPL itself explicitly disagrees with this; check its definition of "propagate" and "convey".
