Or if what Tom really wants is a GPL-like license that considers use in
a web app distribution, use http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html (which is
not OSI-certified, but the FSF apparently considers it a free software
license and potentially upward compatible with GPL 3.0, whatever that
means) or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_Public_License (which
is OSI-approved, though it looks questionable to me, and the FSF says it
is non-free).
