Hi Toke,

I'd really like to get it to be open source, and that's probably going to
take a collaborative industry funding effort to achieve as a reference
measurement implementation of a universal interoperable quality standard
(i.e. ∆Q-based metrics). There's a mathematical inevitability to the end
game of both metrics and scheduling, and we're very close to it.

In the meantime, I can give you a trial version to play with. How about you
give it a spin and share your feedback here of what you learned?

Martin
