User presses copy in App1 -> gpbs1 accepts data and copy function sets database
with
someting like server1:data
User does paste in App2 -> paste function looks up database and sees data is on
server1, notifies gpbs2 that data should be coming from gpbs1 and notifies
gpbs1 to
send data to gpbs2 -> servers exchange data -> gpbs2 sends data to App2
