I'm also upset with marketing of "opening it up to the world"; if you look close, "ethics" isn't for open-sourcing it, but selling the API.

My Internalized investor: Lyrebird *is* interesting; If in an ecosystem it does have merit. How'll they monetize it? https://t.co/KWhWen9dnr

So, my 2 cents: those who seek to invest in Lyrebird have a monetizable API framework in their midst - Maybe competitors in @21's space?

That all said, these are my initial predictions. I got out of bed this morning to research 'em & try and find out more. I am probably wrong.
