The trouble is that this distribution and licensing does
not solve the problem, which is that these bindings are
hopelessly out of date, they cover only version 3.5, and
they also contain a number of errors. If we don't have a
freely distributable version which people can contribute
fixes and improvements to, then it is unlikely that any
one company will invest the necessary effort to bring
these bindings up to date. Aonix has gone the route of
providing a proprietary binding to solve this problem,
but that is hardly satsifactory in terms of the original
goals of the project.
