Compiler Usage in Delivered Images

I have skimmed the delivery guide but I still have a question regarding 
the use of the compiler in delivered images.

One of the strengths of Lisp in the area of application server software 
is the possibility of having a server running without interruption, but 
still have the option to connect to the image by means of a remote 
listener for maintenance and/or debugging, or to invoke a system build 
on an updated CVS tree, actually updating the application server while 
it is running. This is not possible in Java, let alone C - and is 
definitively a plus.

I have an article describing such usages in detail: 
http://homepage.mac.com/svc/RebelWithACause

Is this possible (and allowed by the license) in a delivered LispWorks 
image ?
Are the compiler, debugger, listener (in TTY version) still available ?
Are dynamic modifications to the CLOS runtime still possible, or are 
they optimized out ?

Thx,

Sven
