Sorry, somehow I missed this mail. It got filed in a folder which wasn't monitored for new mails. The code for EggBasket has an MIT license, so you are free to do with it whatever you want, I haven't done any updates to it recently, so I don't claim any maintainer rights. Let me know, if I can help out with anything.
