InboxSDK looks awesome. I took a look at it several months ago, and we want to build something on GMail. We're a little concerned about the licensing and availability of the library, though. Is it possible that a month from now you decide that we're competing with something you want to do, and stop serving the library for our app? What would be our recourse then?

Our terms of service are listed at https://www.inboxsdk.com/terms. Specifically we will notify registered developers whenever we change our terms and you can use the old terms for some period of time.

In general though, we treat the SDK as its own product and have several competitors to Streak using it. We have millions of end users using apps built on the SDK from major companies (Dropbox, Hubspot, etc) so we're pretty careful with our terms.

The main goal is to retain the ability to maintain compatibility between different extensions being run by the same user and being able to respond quickly to changes in Gmail.
