Hi Ivan,

I haven't been actively developing beepy for a while because I don't
have a direct personal need for it at the moment, and the userbase has
been pretty quiet about bugs or features. That said, I'm happy to spend
a bit of time improving it if someone is using it and needs some work
done on it.

beepy is LGPL, which is a pretty permissive license. What aspects of the
licensing are you finding problematic?

I'm always open to persuasion, so feel free to plead your case. Some
active development would be good for beepy.
