Free Software Foundation Releases GNU Affero General Public License Version 3

,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today published the GNU Affero General 
| Public License version 3 (GNU AGPLv3). This is a new license; it is based on 
| version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GNU GPLv3), but has an 
| additional term to allow users who interact with the licensed software over a 
| network to receive the source for that program. By publishing this license, 
| the FSF aims to foster user and development communities around 
| network-oriented free software.
