Dear developers

The streaming stack used in Spydroid is available as a standalone library here with its Javadoc and explanations about how it works and how to use it. It is available under two licenses, the GPL, and a commercial licence.

Licensing

If you are interested in using the libstreaming or parts of Spydroid in a close source commercial application, you can contact me at the mail address specified below.

Folks, please note that i'm a french dude, so if you see something that doesn't make any sense do not hesitate to correct me :) (fyhertz at gmail dot com).
