My personal view on that is that a isolated, strict and well defined
module API is an application boundary, pretty much like any other ICP
like mechanism. But requires a isolated, strict and well defined API
specified under an open non-copyleft license (i.e. modifed BSD or
similar).
An module API requiring knowledge of the GPL licensed internals is not.
That's all I have to say in that matter now as the discussion is quite
pointless without at least one target module application.
