They define it earlier in the license:

> To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

While the AGPL might be untested, copyright isn't, and I don't think any copyright lawyer would say that "calling over the network" is adapting "the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission".



I agree with you, and I'm perfectly happy to use AGPL in this way for my own stuff, but my employers have not been.
