t3g, In your situation if you license the code that runs on the server (e.g. JavaScript code) to the client under a permissive free license (i.e. one that allows the client to release it under a non-free license) you are still providing the client with all the software freedoms. If the client wishes that people visiting his site use the JavaScript code you developed under a non-free license, then visitors that value their freedom should reject it and demand that the client re-license the JavaScript code as free software. Note that Android faces a similar issue (Google releases it under a free license that allows device manufacturers to release it without distributing the source code, and most device manufacturers which produce Android devices do not provide the Android source code running on the devices).
