I'm not sure about equivalent, but It should be public performance, but 
not only. For example, I represent a work if I sing on the Tv : I just 
give direct access to the work (I've the idea, but the word can be 
wrong, does somebody can rectify me if necessary ?) ; it's the same on 
Internet.

What you can't do, is to display the code on the website. But you can 
distribute copy of it... I think that characterize software's 
particularity : you don't need to read the code on the website, the tv, 
radio, etc. ; you just download it and read it in your private area.

It's ridiculous, but you just don't have this right (conversely, with 
the GPL v3, you can do " /anything with it that, without permission, 
would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under 
applicable copyright law/ ". That is broad enough ^^)·

Well, for precision, just have a look on the Rosen's book (his English 
is better ;-) )

Freely,
Benjamin
