Hmm, isn't that a contradiction:

"If a company wants to run VW on a server for internal use, then they 
would need a license. "

and

"So, if you put SmallWiki under an Open Source license, you would also 
be ok on usage."

Let's try simple yes/no questions ;-)

- If I run Smallwiki on our company server for internal use, do I need 
to pay or not?

- If I run Smallwiki on our company server for internal and external use 
as the wiki for an OpenSource project, do I need to pay or not?

- If I run Smallwiki on our company server for internal and external use 
as the wiki for a commercial project, do I need to pay or not?

I hate these kind of questions too and I appreciate your effort in 
trying to answer them!

Thanks
