Then you've killed the static linking potential for a lot of developers,
who will then likely look to other projects instead. At the very least
the server needs to be LGPL'd, preferrably MPL'd, or as Alex suggested
MPL'd with an added provision for users to do a one way conversion to
GPL/LGPL.

In that case I'll have to start evaluating other systems for my work,
since it was a hard enough sell to go for the MPL for some of our partners.
