The `reasonable person' clause is always going to be a bit fuzzy. The cure period means that this isn't necessarily a big problem. For more info, take a look at the list archives for discussion about shrink wrapping, `deck of cards' products, and miniatures with included OGL'd rules.

Technically you are distributing both the OGC and the license every time people view it. �As long as the HTML source is not purposefully obfuscated in some way you are distributing the same materials that you would be if you printed it out and distributed it to someone.
You'd probably be in reasonable shape. �Most GPL'd work gets even less advertisement of the license. �It's generally hidden only for the licensee to see, with merely the results visible to people who visit a GPL'd CGI script, for example.
However, if you are concerned that a reasonable person standard for clearly indicating your OGC may encompass non-technical users, include a small, 4-6 point link at the bottom of the page that tells the user to view the HTML source for licensing information.
I don't see that this is necessary since, in fact, you have distributed the license with each copy of the text you are distributing. �But is it really that difficult to play it safe?
