| Jul 2 at 11:40 | comment | added | Simon Richter | You need to provide source to any user of project B that requests it, but project A is not a user of project B -- unless the service is accessible to them, then they are free to request the source code as well. There is never a requirement to contact project A, because that would fail the desert island test. | |

Even if no version control is used, we can always use diff and similar tools to see precisely what has changed. This is one of the reasons (A)GPL requires one deliver the source form 'machine-readable'.

| Jul 2 at 8:59 | comment | added | Bart van Ingen Schenau | @Hern, Project B needs a notice indicating that things were changed from A. The typical notice is adding your own copyright line. If B is hosted in a public repository, then the way to obtain what was changed is to look at the commit history in the repository. | |

| Jul 2 at 8:18 | comment | added | Hern | For the derivative work or modification, it's up to the author to decide whether certain situations count as any of those and use section 7 in AGPL/GPL to actually do the wonders? | |
| Jul 2 at 8:16 | comment | added | Hern | "There is no such requirement in the AGPL license. There needs to be a record that changes were made, but the changes do not need to be actively communicated back to the project that you received the code from." Let me try in understanding this, let's say A is the original AGPL project, someone created B by changing some parts in A. Inside B, it needs to say which part have been changed in the form of record. So for anyone that receive B, they will receive the source of B along with the changes made? Am I correct on this or? | |
