if you distribute your very own copy/version of embedded/client lib and
install it adjaccent to your applciation executable, then you will be in
total control of the version of the client and embedded server you wish to
use.
Installing a full server anywhere on your client's network (IMVHO) should
not be done without your client knowing and therefore negotiating the server
machine, version of server etc etc.
