By re-reading myself, I seem to have been even more confusing.

The current AGPL requires to put the source code for free on a network
server, which is too specific.

This is why I propose that alternate wording - which surely deserves
improvement - which makes clearer that this doesn't have to be for free
or on a network server; just that accessing the software must give
access to the source. This should cope with any accusations of this
clause implying an additional cost.

(I won't try to submit this change on their website, because last time I
tried it was broken.)
