I was tickled to see mention of a shim in the trade press 
today:

Is Microsoft Going to Start a Linux War?

You bet! Here are the reasons why. 
By John C. Dvorak

from the article:

"Sharp operators have been playing with various ways to avoid 
bumping into the GPL while using Linux in proprietary 
applications. Thus evolved the concept of a shim. Anyone who 
has done anything mechanical is familiar with the shim. It's 
usually something that is jammed into a space to shore it up 
or make something less loose, such as a matchbook jammed 
under a table leg to keep the table from wobbling."

We hope our use is less invidious; we just want the TWS to 
bend to our will  ;)
