This is a Drupal thing. Only 3rd Party applications that are licensed under GPL can be included into the drupal CVS. So because the interface plugin is MIT, and not GPL, I cannot include it with my E-Commerce software on Drupal.org. So the person installing it needs to download interface from elsewhere.
