Is that true? I can see that applies to server-side 
applications, but many of web application has most of the 
interface code delivered to the users as client-side 
applications (Javascript stuff). Wouldn't this constitute

will apply?

Is there any recommended license which copyleft but allow to 
linked (even statically) in a software with other license?
