I do the same, but in a different way. I just don't transfer *.wml files
to the server. I don't see anything "not very nice" in this behavior.
The intend of the GPL is to "protect" the source of the program/tool,
but not the output (see e.g. gcc). I don't do webdesign for a living,
but if I would do it for a living, I wouldn't use tools which force me
to (wml doesn't force to) reveal any intermediate results.

I don't use wmk, I use plain make. With make it's not a problem to use
separate paths (or to copy the files to a separate path after generating
the html files).

With a POSIX make it's something like this (GNU make has a different
syntax for templates):
---snip--
FILES!= ls *.wml
RESULT= $(FILES:S/.wml/.html/g)

all: $(RESULTS)

.SUFFIXES: .html .wml

.wml.html:
        @echo "Generating $(.TARGET)..."
        @wml -q $(WMLFLAGS) -o UNDEF+EN:$(.TARGET:Q) $(.IMPSRC:Q)
        @cp $(.TARGET:Q) /path/to/destination/$(.TARGET:Q)
---snip---

Bye,
Alexander.
