the whole application. You offer other licence as well
but this is not what I like to ask. My question is:
If someone read your source code to write an "ice" library
in a different language to support a different language
mapping using your protocol. It is allowed to use the
GNU Library General Public License for that new library?

Absolutely. You can use any license you like in this case. You only must use the GPL if you use or translate our code. But just looking at our code to see how things work, and then making a clean-room implementation, doesn't mean that you must use GPL for your code.
