Let me ask it this way: suppose you used ASP instead. As I understand ASP, it's like PHP except it's proprietary. Would ASP's license be a problem? Maybe you're using "the server" to encompass too much. If I have an Apache-based web site, then the web server is Apache. If I have a Python CGI script that the Apache server runs, the CGI script is not "the server"--it's an application running under the server. It would not be affected by the GPL if Apache used the GPL. Karrigell scripts seem to me to work out about the same way. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
