I want this.
@baf, can you lead or participate in updating technical documentation of MOBI format basing on your fresh knowledge?
I can help with that (though with slow pace) or can do it on my own. I can read Python and C, so knowledge hidden in KindleUnpack/libmobi code would be accessible to me. But undefined license of KindleUnpack and LGPL of libmobi are pretty restrictive for me, because I also have a desire to write another mobi library (someday), but with MIT license, so I'm trying to hold back from reading KindleUnpack and libmobi code.
@baf, can you relicense your library to MIT? @KevinH, can you (and all your contributors) explicitly set KindleUnpack license to MIT (or, better, CC0, given that you've expressed your neutrality to license choice sometime ago)?
I know, I'm asking too much, but I couldn't restrain myself from taking the opportunity. EDIT: I see now that KindleUnpack is GPL3-licensed and libmobi is derived from it, so, I guess, no luck for me here.
