Bonobo components are in-process or out-of-process CORBA servers so they could be used to "circumvent" the GPL via the old "out-of-process" argument. There are other arguments too that I won't go into coz this isn't the appropriate list to have this discussion on. Email me off-list if you're really *that* interested. Anyway, Martin's suggestions are moot in light of my talk with Bart last night. Dom
