Now that's a good question, really.

ExtJS used to be LGPLv2 + commercial, then moved to GPLv3 + commercial.

Wt is GPLv2 + commercial.

And I wonder why Wt is not licensed under the GPLv3, too, given that  
the GPLv3 would protect Emweb from people developing applications and  
not redistributing them, which is, I would say, extremely usual in web  
applications. Say, for instance, eBay, Google or Yahoo decide to start  
using Wt: as they are not distributing their source, the GPLv2 does  
not require them to distribute their source or buy Wt licenses, but  
the GPLv2 would require them to distribute their source or buy Wt  
licenses.

Koen, Wim?
