Why is it free?

Because

  • It came out of publicly founded research.
  • I hope that other people will find it useful too.
  • I hope other people will test it and maybe offer suggestions for improvements.
  • I spent way too much time on it and I think it would be rather depressing if it all ended up in a drawer.

Why isn’t the source code included?

Because it’s was PhD-Project and having people contribute code to my project would have complicate and maybe invalidated the entire PhD.

Note that it is open source now:
