+<dd><p>This should not be required in any typical server-client
+relationship.  AGPLv3 requires a program to offer source code to
+&ldquo;all users interacting with it remotely through a computer
+network.&rdquo; In most server-client architectures, it simply
+wouldn't be reasonable to argue that the server operator is a
+&ldquo;user&rdquo; 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&mdash;so there's no meaningful way for the server operator to be
+considered a user of that software.</p></dd>
