Again, thanks for your comments.  Apparently, there isn't yet
a definitive answer to the legalities of GPL/non-GPL linking,
so I'll leave it at that.  But there is one question I'd like to
have answered:  Would it be OK for a BSD licensed server to have
both proprietary and GPL'd clients connected via shared memory?
(Disregard the fact that some proprietary licenses may forbid
even aggregation with GPL.)  The BSD-style license is compatible
with the GPL, but is not viral, so hopefully this should be legal.
