If we figured out a way to provide runtime module loading rather than
linking it at compile time, that should be okay I think. I'd rather have
the server under a license which let people link proprietory code into it
if they want to though, if only so that people really low on memory can
use the "application linked into the server" mode, with an application
that they don't want to release the source to. I don't know how difficult
it is to provide dynamic module loading though, it's something I've never
tried.
