Very cool!  I know it's hard to make the plunge and put the source code 
out there, but frankly I think this is the single most important thing 
you could have done to help Confluence become an industry standard 
language.  Confluence is my top pick for module generation capabilities. 
I hope to be able to use it's capabilities in the SoC Builder project.

I hope there's still a business model that enables you to profit from 
your efforts.
