I'd suggest dual licensing. *GPL is completely unworkable for many people,
for a variety of reasons.

The problem, as you've noted, is that many would want to link the server
into their applications. I know that we (Screen Media) can't continue to
work on it if the code isn't available under another license (apart from
the *GPL's) as well, and the result would be yet another code split.
I thought we'd already agreed on the MPL as a decent common denominator,
but I'd have no problems with dual licensing the code under both *GPL
and MPL.
