Aand that's the end of our project before it even began...
Quoting Parrot's ARDrone SDK license:
"Consequently, PARROT expressly forbids the Developer:
(v) To use the PARROT SDK and APIs to develop an application other than a Game
for AR.Drone. The Game for AR.Drone, shall have for sole purpose to be
used by a
User for entertaining, game, leisure or training."
