It's a bit tricky with the gui, since the licensing model isn't clear yet.
As such, it's still a Nagios Enterprises (Ethan's own company) issue and
hasn't been brought before the board. It has been discussed with other
people at op5, but since I'm on two seats I might end up in a conflict of
interests and so I made sure I never took part of the discussions.

I can understand that. I'm sorry we haven't communicated anything yet
but, as I said, it's a bit tricky if it's even in the community domain
yet. I think wait-and-find-out is, as yet, the only possible solution.
