Actually, the 'business logic' is a very loose concept and can contain
any type of logic you want to call 'business'.

See, this project used to support, in turn:

- (attempt) Fidonet-compatible mailer (Windows 3.11, 1992);
- Electronic fund transfer system (Windows 3.11, 1993);
- Corporate activity tracking database (OS/2, 1994-5);
- Securities trading system (Java, 1996);
- MUD server sceleton (Java, 1996-7)

So there _was_ a possibility to cut the lowest common denominator from
all those systems, and there goes Jukebox.

The exact place is - a wrapper which carries out all life support and
plumbing, so to say.
