Kevin,
Thanks for making clear where you stand on this. I think I can agree
with the argument that since the app is executed in the client, it is
ditributed. However, the obligation to give away the source immediately
may need a little moderation, since according to the GPL offering the
source code is sufficient. One doesn't have to keep the source on the
server available for immediate download.

That's right for the server. However in the case of an HTML5 app it is not
correct. It is going to be downloaded and executed on the client. That
classifies as having distributed it in compiled form. If you do that, you
immediately have to give away the full source under GPL to every visitor
to your website.
Kind regards,
Kevin
