So, unlike with currently available Python CORBA implementations (and
implementations for other languages as well), you can't use ICE in a
closed source system without paying a fee. Just wanted to point this
out so that nobody got the wrong idea. This *is* a big deal with
middleware / library that would quite probably be adopted in
commercial systems where the managers will feel uneasy about giving up
the control of their "precious" source.

Too bad, I actually got mildly exited when I read about ICE in the
referenced website.
