But there's a significant difference in reliability when the Corresponding Source is hosted on the *same* server where the AfferoGPLv3'ed program is running on: if that server is down, no Source distribution will be performed, but no remote interaction with the program will happen either... This reasoning does not hold when the Corresponding Source is hosted on a public hosting service, while the AfferoGPLv3'ed program runs elsewhere. -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/index.html#nanodocs The nano-document series is here! .....................................................
