But.
I sent an e-mail to Parrot yesterday asking if we can make a simulator to ease
the development of ARDrone games for the Meegathon. Their reply:
"As your idea is about building and
sharing tools to ease the process of doing it we consider it
as part of the authorized software development with the SDK."
So we now have an official permission to build
an ARDrone simulator using Parrot's SDK :)
