Hi Van,

I have one more scenario that occurred to me when I was re-reading the
license. I'd like to know if I understand correctly:

Assume that the CAL is used for front-end software. A website uses the
software for its website. Through a webform I order a gift that is for
my daughter, who lives at a different address. It appears to me that,
under the CAL:

My daughter's name and address are "User Data," that is, they are data
that is input to the Work and my daughter, a third party, has a Lawful
Interest in the data.
The website has Publicly Performed, that is, it has made an interface
available that is used for access to User Data, my daughter's name and
address.
As a result, this interaction means that under 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 the
website has to provide me (the Recipient) with a copy of the source code.

Is that correct?

Pam
