AFAIK this was the original intent of the GPL as well, but due to the common interpretation that "link" and "distribute" refer exclusively to their meanings within the context of traditional binary building and distribution (that is, they do not apply when a program is "distributed" such that its back-end is accessed through a web-based front-end), the AGPL was necessary.

IANAL

what's bullshit? That the GPL was written with the same aims as the AGPL? I fail to see any bullshit in the post you're replying to…
