Well awesome. My goal, albeit understated, is to provide valuable software to the community. If a less restrictive licence is better suited for it, than so be it. I do, however, plan on wrapping up the project and providing documentation soon. Also, I did notice the C API/libraries and want to look into that, but this was/is dependent on positive feedback. If this platform looks like something which can/will benefit us, than that will definitely be worked through. It is working very well for me but should be referred as a "functional prototype", I suppose ;)
