My i18n 'library' is just what was proposed on the mailinglist: 
references to vars in separate 'language' templates. It's just a working 
method. I really hope working methods (that I learned from the ML, to 
boot) aren't touched by my apps license.

I am willing to reconsider the license if someone can convince me that a 
'competitor' can't start using this app and explicitly set credit to 
himself, instead of none at all or shared. Network-hosted apps are 
somewhat of a loophole in the GPL, which very strongly leans on the 
distribution aspect; FSF legal counsil confirmed this. They did say 'if 
you interpret this clause in that way, you shuld in fact be covered', 
but that's not the protection I'm looking for.
