Yup -- it wouldn't need to be LGPL/BSD unless it needed to be linked
against in products. If all it needs is components then they could
easily be XML-based and just be read by the GPL program.
It would make sense to have the descriptions and updates available via
some standard protocol like HTTP instead of requiring a specialized
server, IMHO (means that us mere shareware developers without leased
lines could use it).
