Is running a small piece of AGPL3 code on your website that much of a concern? Especially for only one week or so, and then it will be gone for good?

  Yes, it is. AGPL requires you not only to release your changes to that code, but to release any code that talks to AGPL'ed code over the network.

    Citation needed! Really, your statement is simply completely made up. If you read the license, it says: your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network... Users are not code, nor should they be owned. If they are not already released, release them now.

      Remember, this is Javascript, so it's not an unreasonable reading of the license that merely serving it counts as "Conveying" it, per the terms of the AGPL. To wit: To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

        Thats a question regarding when a combined work is created (not about code communicating over a network...). Its not that difficult question to look into. Imagine that I would "convey" a photo by using img tags and "link" proprietary photos inside advertisement banners. Would the banner count as a combined work, or as two separate and disconnected works? I would lean towards the single combined work, because thats how I think a non-technical judge would look at it.
