>>The difference is that the AGPL is overbroad to whom licenses must be offered. Here is the first paragraph of Section 13, with emphasis added:
>>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.

I guess I don’t see that employees of a corporation accessing code through that corporation’s internal network is “remote interaction.” Or is the argument that it becomes so as soon as the employer offers external access to the network when employees work from home?
