We have a lot of customers lined up already: two fast food outlets who want it as a digital menu system, a local council who want it as a digital signage product and some SMEs who want it for reception-based product display. So we're going to be supplying complete solutions with internet connections for updates and each customer will get their own content of course. Pis are incredibly cheap so we'll be highly competitive against other digital signage products.

I will definitely release the framework as LGPLed code when its good enough for public consumption. It's nothing technically very special: a C API to create graphics elements using old style OpenGL behind the scenes, a video decoder pinched from hello_videocube.c and a LuaJIT wrapper around it all with ideas from Cocos-2D. Flash will never be supported on the Pi so this is my attempt at an open alternative.
