This summer we will be working on the package for a few weeks, which is going to be only one task of a few others from our tight schedule. Because we need to have immediate results of our work, and because we don't know how long the merging will take, we are sorry to write you that we are unable to merge with your modules. We guess that merging would take at least a month of hard work. Also, solving the legal issues would be a serious task. I can only wish both of you best of luck with your work. I am waiting for your news!
