APCA works great, but it has a very weird and restrictive license. Before you consider it for anything you should probably take a detailed look at that and consider if it's really usable for you.

The current license kinda sucks but there is some hope that a more permissive license will be in place by the end of the year.

Hey @zauguin and @kreskin,

I am sorry about the licensing issue, it is only temporary during the public beta. And I am providing some exceptions, if you need, send an email to legal@myndex.com

Just can't do an MIT type license right now—and really there's no generic one that really suit what we need right now, so we're working on such a license, one that is reasonably permissive yet prevents some of the issues we've run into. I.e. like with bad actors incorrectly modifying, or reverse engineering and doing so wrongly, or taking it to the cantina at Mos Eisley...
