I think there's a lot of awesome stuff in both libraries that's not Calibre specific, and it'd be nice to have a general-purpose CLI for them. That way, you could have a non-Calibre specific base library, and then build on that for the Calibre-specific bits.

I intend to continue only releasing this work as calibre plugins. I believe that it helps in a small way to support the calibre project, which is important to me. This is a hobby project for me. Doing the extra work to also release the code in another form does not interest me.
If you want to produce something more general purpose go right ahead. You are welcome to make use of the code however you like. As you mention, the dependencies on calibre are minimal.

I enjoy solving puzzles. Diving into a file format, seeing how things work, and then writing software that tests my understanding is a fun hobby for me in my retirement.
