Hi,

I'm considering to install owncloud on my Debian server and I would prefer to 
use the owncloud package because it eases the maintenance burden for me, but I 
am wondering how I can comply with the AGPLv3 in that case. Debian (as other 
distros) modifies the source with several patches and from my reading of the 
AGPL that requires me to "prominently" offer my users a way to retrieve exactly 
this modified source code. The Debian package does nothing like that, so I 
suppose I would have to create my own app or theme in order to include links to 
the sources listed on http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/owncloud?
This seems very tedious and probably neutralizes any benefit of using distro 
packages instead of the unmodified upstream version of owncloud. This does not 
only concern Debian, I found that the Fedora and SUSE packages contain 
modifications as well. Is it actually possible to use distro packages of 
owncloud on a publically accessible server without violating the AGPL?

Lars
