Does the SDK License Agreement prohibit wrappers around the streaming SDK?

[Michael Mauderer]

I was considering writing a Rust wrapper for the Tobii streaming SDK as well as releasing it as an open source project. Then I came across this sentence in the License Agreement:

Limitations. Licensee may not […] use the SDK to build software that may be
used as an SDK providing API’s that use functionality from the
Software Components.

Am I right in interpreting this as essentially prohibiting writing any kind of abstraction layer around the Tobii streaming API?

Hi @mmauderer and thanks for your query. Whilst your project does indeed sound great, I am afraid that you are correct in that the creation of any kind of API wrapper around the Stream Engine SDK is in breach of the licence agreement.

However, if you would care to reach out to the Tobii Tech Sales department @ https://www.tobii.com/tech/contact/

Our apologies for the disappointing news, we hope you can continue to keep developing via the Tobii Stream Engine.
Do let us know if we can provide any further information.
