It's demotion to 'Lesser' does seem to put things into perspective, then, doesn't it. Regarding "I assume you mean something like API use over http here", it's actually even weirder than that. On Bungee Connect, you can include an independent project as a runtime dependency within a separate application. Their codebases are not intermingled this way, and you get all the functionality. So it really works like a local library. I'd <i>definitely</i> be interested in discussing this with you, and summer is a perfect timeframe. Some of the issues that Bungee Labs faces would likely be of great interest to the line of study you are pursuing. --T Luis:

Remember that they call it the 'Lesser' GPL these days, not the Library GPL like they used to. :) I'd be interested in chatting a bit more with you about this this summer, Ted. Sadly not right now- exams are eating my brainz. :) There is no Affero version of the LGPL–probably because this scenario has not been considered until very recently.
