About the project
I started this project in my free time while working for AdBrite. Once the initial proof of concept was done, I got the go ahead to continue working on the project at work, and I also secured a promise to release the source once the project was completed. I left AdBrite recently, but they were kind enough to authorize the source release and my continued development.
