I'm not sure I follow you here.

To tell you the truth, I don't really know as I'm not a lawyer. I don't 
expect the server side stuff to be effected but I may be wrong. Read the 
license. Some points that may interest you are:

[[[
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
]]]

and

[[[
   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the 
author to ask for permission.
]]]

If any open source project team sees licensing problems with Sarissa, I 
will hapilly provide permission to them to do what they wish with the 
code. It's just a script after all, nothing ultra cool or something.

Hope this helps.
