by you and by the Copyright Office. Forget CAL and forget AGPL.
If a normal GPL program on <u>your</u> computer causes <u>my</u>
computer to display a red square, have you distributed <u>your</u>
GPL program to <u>my</u> computer? That sounds like a real
reach for copyleft, even for a sophisticated API that makes
computers do things. I now worry about that so-called "general
rule" for GPL email programs! </span></blockquote>

No, I haven't distributed it, I have only displayed it. The
copyleft/source code requirements of GPL are implicated on
distribution, not on display. It's not an issue under the GPL.<br>
