The source code of the client is not under a liberal license.

I guess lawyers could argue about whether reselling the service fell under 'using'.

(I don't mean this to be hostile to the licensing, I just think that it is a big thing getting in the way of it being very possible to do as you say)

A point worth considering, the spirit of what I said though should be considered - not specifically the details.

The spirit being, that someone WILL fill this gap in the market. Someone. I would rather it be Tarsnap and Colin; though.

You see a gap in the market, the op does, other comments do.

But none is going to roll their own replacement because they are involved elsewhere - I see a gap in the reasoning not in the market :-)
