+<dd><p>For software on a proxy server, you can provide an offer of
+source through a normal method of delivering messages to users of that
+kind of proxy. For example, a Web proxy could use a landing page. When
+users initially start using the proxy, you can direct them to a page
+with the offer of source along with any other information you choose
+to provide.</p>
+<p>The AGPL says you must make the offer to "all users".  If you know

+version of the software, you don't have to repeat it to that user
+again.</p></dd>
