Sorry, that won't work.  If we let you have some immutable code, we
would have to let other people have immutable code.  I'm sure that
you're a nice guy and have no evil intentions, but the next guy who
comes along with immutable code is also going to require that code to
contact his web server and you won't be able to run it without paying
him something.

Have you considered using the AGPL and simply *asking* people to leave
the fragments of code in place?  Giving cooperation and then asking
cooperation in return usually works for most people.
