+
+<dd><p>This should not be required in any typical server-client
+relationship. AGPLv3 requires a program to offer source code to
+“all users interacting with it remotely through a computer
+network.” In most server-client architectures, it simply
+wouldn't be reasonable to argue that the server operator is a
+“user” interacting with the client in any meaningful
+sense.</p>
+
+<p>Consider HTTP as an example. All HTTP clients expect servers to
+provide certain functionality: they should send specified responses to
+well-formed requests. The reverse is not true: servers cannot assume
+that the client will do anything in particular with the data they
+send. The client may be a web browser, an RSS reader, a spider, a
+network monitoring tool, or some special-purpose program. The server
+can make absolutely no assumptions about what the client will
+do—so there's no meaningful way for the server operator to be
+considered a user of that software.</p></dd>
