Another question which I feel is very related, and to which I cannot get any real clarification: Can Zope run GPL Zope Python Products without being relicensed as GPL? I think, we can answer this with a clear yes:
As an analogy: You can use a Windows (TM) command line interpreter to start and interact with a GPL programm that in turn call the Windows (TM) operating system services without the need to relicense the Windows (TM) operating system under the GPL. I would expect that you can use any freely available (freely available does not mean non-commercial) product and combine it with GPL components as long as you license *your* integration code under GPL and you do not distribute the non-GPL components in the same package as the GPL components. Another example: You build a complex system consisting of GPL components and a commercial database (say Oracle). I do not expect RMS to require Oracle to become GPL in order for GPL components to interact with it. Not yet, at least. Dieter
