Dual-licensing is an option I've considered. It may work, but I haven't
thought through it fully yet.
The short answer here is that the legal stuff is *unbelievably boring*
to me in comparison to coding, so if I can write 10 hours of code to
save 2 hours of bashing my head against license documents, I will.
The rtl_tcp route sounds valid, and easy, and something I'd want
anyway. I know there was a lot of drama surrounding SDR#, which is
precisely why I came here to clear things up and not repeat the same
mistakes.
So who wants to talk about actual SDR stuff instead? I see on the
Osmocom pages that people already have POCSAG decoding, but FLEX isn't
mentioned (I've only seen closed-source decoders). I have it working
pretty well, both at 1600 and 6400 bps. Amazing how much medical stuff
is being broadcast in the clear...

Why don't you make it a known?
It's not really difficult to use dual licensing for your software
should you want that at some point.
I may have a future purpose for the software that
involves connecting with
closed-source code, and I simply don't know enough about the legal aspects
there.
So FIND OUT. You can ask license-related questions on the list too.
