You are right Noah, only _if you modify the Program_. The AGPLv3 license 
reads:


 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.

   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 (...) 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.

IMHO, it is not a hard condition for a Free Software webapp.
