Hej Niels

I cannot tell you on the more intricate technical details, but I know 
that IceBreak has been considered but I do not know what happened then.

However, IceBreak has the same basic problem seen from our point of view 
as all the others, namely vendor lock-in. Can you guarantee that your 
product will be updated and supported for the next X years? Including if 
you happen to be bought by a competitor?
