Incorrect, SmartGWT allows both.  Purchasing a license does not imply
that you *must* use the closed-source server-side portion.  If you use
just the capabilities of SmartGWT LGPL, you can offer the LGPL
licensing terms to customers that prefer it, and you can purchase a
license from Isomorphic to obtain different terms for customers who do
not want the LGPL license.

Several of our customers do this for precisely this reason (needing an
all-OSS version of their product).
