Well, not anymore. Signove has released its implementation as free software: http://oss.signove.com/index.php/Antidote_release_announcement Antidote contains: 1) a library that can be statically or dynamically liked by any application that needs to use the IEEE protocol; 2) a set of transport plug-ins that save the core library from most platform dependencies. The most well-tested, by now, is the BlueZ HDP plugin. (Currently, plug-ins are linked along with library.) 3) a sample health D-Bus service that allows applications to communicate with health devices without having to link with Antidote library. This service is perfectly functional and doubles as a complete example of how to use the Antidote API. License is LGPL.
