Re: [DotGNU]Re: My Favorite soapbox : XML linkage

[James Michael DuPont]

It seems that I have a very specific problem with
trying to create web services and XML interfaces
attached to Gpled program. The introspector is such an
interface, albiet not yet web, for the gcc.

The problems involved with the licensing are not the
same as with other types of webservices.

My point with the introspector project is that all
code can be treated as data. Each snippet of code can
be transformed into a fully annotated parse tree that
can be used with very little framework.

That is one of my main points. Thanks for putting it
so well.

One of the ideas that I had was the one of execution
and secure data transfer. A way that the user cannot
execute the method unless they are registered and part
of that registration involves an aggreement that they
will not use it from a non-free software.
