License question
Hi Marc,
I would like to start an open source project which will be a distributed system in a niche domain. I am about the make a decision between CORBA and Ice. Ice is my preferrence and it is no problem to make software GPL. What is problem is that i do not want to make system hooks, plugins and APIs GPL so that customers can freely extend the system.
I have idea of covering GPL software with LGPL or Apache wrappers/APIs that customers can use. Is this possible?

Please have a look at this link:

This should answer your questions about the GPL requirements of plug-ins.0 -
