Right. A naive socket solution would work, but almost anything that decouples across the network should work. I am uncertain whether or not issues come into play with IDLs such as those used in Corba. Still, I think GPLv2 does not cover these bases, and you need GPLv3 to plug those holes. Whatever. In any case, if someone implemented a Corba solution, they could license it in a manner that was compatible for the required purposes.
