Are you planning on selling this in the UK? I think you're violating a trademark owned by Channel 4.

C4 is a community-driven open-source project, that has been made through the work of volunteers. We aren't selling the core api in any market. It also has an MIT license so it is free to use for anyone, including in commercial works.

The law will catch anyone who tries to sell services related to the registered trademark.

IANAL, TINLA. AFAIK, trademarks only apply within their market segment so it shouldn't be a problem.

Channel Four have a patent within the computer software subsection of category 9 of the classifications.
