I don't think that would be a problem. Since matchstick hasn't formally been released, I'm not ever sure we've picked a license for it yet. > Of course if something (like MySQL for instance) can't legaly be part of > the > package - it could be listed as pre-requirement and install version of > mysql > shiped on same (or another with all GPL stuff) disk ... Smolder doesn't ship with MySQL either, but it allows the installer to choose mysql (if they have it) or just use the SQLite that comes bundled with it. > I'm also investigating the posibility to relese the code as OpenSource > (tm)... > > As of Matchstick - I was thinking more along the lines of CGI::App with > some > web_server::in_module solution - mostly because that would mean same code > (mostly finished) can be re-used ...

It comes bundled with Apache, instead of it's own server, for several reasons. Most important is probably that Apache is very familiar to lots of people, so tweaking the config for different reasons is much easier. It also does a good job of serving static files as well as the dynamic bits. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
