Why, that's easy: it is nothing at all.  What is a "public performance" of
a painting, a sculpture, or a building?  (There is a separate right of
"public display".)

You still haven't answered my question about whether ssh-ing to someone
else's server and running some program there counts as "on your own
computer" or not.  Does it matter if you pay for the use of the server or
it is gratis?  (I hold that the GPL conditions attach in all these cases.)

It was dreary and wearisome.  Cold clammy winter still held sway in this
forsaken country.  The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark
greasy surfaces of the sullen waters.  Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed
up in the mists like ragged shadows of long-forgotten summers.
