Great you (still) like it.  ;-)

That's even better.

I'll try to put some more info, particularly about typical use cases,
onto the license page soon, http://qooxdoo.org/license. Here are just
some quick comments (this is no legal advice!):

Commercial products (i.e. "selling") are fully supported by qooxdoo's
licenses.

Since you're talking about an Application Server, I suppose you'd ship
some software to customers? This is unlike most users, which merely host
qooxdoo-based apps internally or publicly. You then need to focus on the
"distribution" aspect of the licenses, particularly LGPL: 

Details depend on what you actually distribute (library vs. app) and if
and what you changed in the lib, also how you package/combine both.
Basically, you don't have to put your own app code under the same
license, but any modifications to the library (i.e. qooxdoo) are to be
made available to others in a license compatible way. For that, you'd
need to be clear about the licensing, copyright, attribution, etc.

Since qooxdoo is dual-licensed, you are free to choose between the LGPL
_or_ EPL. I don't advocate/prefer any of the 2 licenses, just note that
they share much of the same "spirit".

So much for a short feedback on the subject. I won't be available til
next Mo., but I'd be happy to continue our conversation and help with
resolving any issues.

Bye,

Andreas
