How does this work with GPLv3? They changed it from "distribute" to
"convey". Is Airbus conveying the software to its customers or not? If
there is a way to bring a USB dongle and get some of the software from
the entertainment system in the Airbus passenger seats, has that
software been distributed to me or not? How does the AGPL handle a
situation like this, if the software were under the AGPL?
