Thank you, always good to have a LGPL version...
But the big problem is DCom

I gote a privet mail tipp for that Solution to, it lookt god untill I lookt at Technosoftwares "Software AG's EntireX DCOM on Linux" and AG's EntireX DCOM licens:
http://www2.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/entirex/downloads/downl_exxdcom_bus.asp
It seems like they wanted a license from all users (not just a development License), so that don't look good in our case.

But they have a free vertion for non comersial use, if someone else is helpt by that...
And a free trial vertion, for companies. Perhaps could be interesting to try it.

Thanks for your tipp thow.
