BUT I don't know if i am allowed to do this. Our company is small, just a few researchers, and most of software written is published under GPL licence (not all, but that is firmware for uC), all of the communication protocols are public and API is well documented, because we all agreed that we are selling hardware not software. Some lawyer should review licence, and then I could tell you more. Rok
