What about ResultSet, Dictionary, stacks, FIFO-s or many unpredicted
third party list-like structures, wich users will want to see them all as
lists?

And if we are making "Our Small Application Server" with its
own template engine but with capability to plugin any other,
already existing template engine?
And giving it for free (under GPL)as a
"plug-in template adaptor for WebMacro template engine in our server" ?
(as with others - FreeMarker, GSP, EcmaScript or other template, or
interpreted, or compiled template-like tools)
Our purpose is to give Java developers a common api in accessing
all available template engines, and let web designers to choose even what
template engine to use to show data from existing server-side
applications.

This licensing stuff is yet unclear for me.
Can the same product be distributed under two types of licenses,
when one of them (GPL) states that the product itself or
inherited derivatives should be given only under GPL conditions?
Does the "shrink-wrapped" commercial product isnt affected by the GPL
too, as long as it...existed first for WebMacro, no matter what
other new licenses you want to give later.
,thanks
Cezar
