We would like to state that we have no commercial or scientific interests. All we want is to help the community to improve research and in this way help conservation of endangered species. We do this (in our spare time) simply because we enjoy it and want to contribute.
All work is done for free or is some cases with a small grant. As owners of small enterprises, working on the tool means no income during that time whatsoever. Donations for future development are most welcome.
