A thought that's probably dumb: how many of these issues could you resolve by just adding the word "reasonable"? Ie:
> If you modify the Program, you must make a reasonable effort to offer all users interacting with the modified program remotely through a computer network [...] an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version
IANAL, but offering the source to users of a web app seems pretty reasonable. offering the source over MIDI does not.
This doesn't solve the problem of having two different parties, of course.
I'm sympathetic to the need for a license like the AGPL. But—perhaps it should be just be a EULA. Maybe freedom zero was a bad idea. It was written in a world where AWS didn't exist, and there's no shame in realizing that you need to change with the times.
