Licesing Concerns? #11

Issue Summary

Does including NiTE violate their license?

Type of Issue

So, I was planning to put out a NiTE module for Isadora and a user posted this:

How did you get around NiTE's licensing restrictions, which prohibit using it with non-Primesense devices and prohibit redistributing it?

with this link going to an archive of Prime Sense's license

Not that any of you are lawyers, but does anyone have an opinion about this? I mean, there are loads of copies of NiTE running around the web. It doesn't seem like Apple (who bought Prime Sense) is going after anyone, but I thought I'd mention it since you're hosting NiTE in ths github.

Best WIshes, Mark

Hello! I haven't read before about this issue, also as you said there are many copies of NiTE around the web, but I have not received any warning from Apple, So if there is any problem in future I will shut off the repository.
