So, does Zope run when the URL is clicked and serve the HTML (like CGI?) or
does it generate the HTML page before hand and it just get served "real time".

I think, and this is just off the cuff, that my problem with the license, be it
the former OR latter, is the fact that the USER now has a license issue to deal
with.  I think (again, on the fly) that there should be no extra licensing
worries for the user.  They shouldn't *have* to look at the license of every
package, the first time they use it, to determine if there are any "extra"
restrictions that they have to comply with and we don't have (AFAIK) any way to
inform the user that I would consider adequate.  (ie, they might not see
messages via dselect/dpkg if a sysadmin installs it for them.  They might not
see the description if they install via apt... etc)
