Hrmm, how odd. I can see that you wouldn''t be allowed to distribute the
source of the module itself, but the .o file? Oh well, I guess it means
that I''m ''shit out of luck'' then with linking in the
mod_jserv module
then aren''t I? I was told on the JServ mailinglist that supposedly the
Stronghold server does allow this, what other construct are they using?

You can compile it as a shared module, just like mod_perl is compiled on
the CD you''ve got. See my posting on the subject on this list.

Hmmmm... I don''t know about their license, but have you noticed any
other
differences between our server and Stronghold ? (hint: pricewise) I think
that might have something to do with it, altough I am not sure.
