Thanks for all the work you put into this.
I'm really happy with what our frameworks offer.
The next generation of my framework should offer differential navigation and cross-laboratories residual/analysis. We will be able to run the analysis we already have, but between different labs and receivers. This will enable DORIS post-processing, differential navigation etc..
Also, SP3 v1.3 should see new major functionalities, with a possible nyx bridge, to enable precise state propagation in time, and maneuver reconstruction. In this case, I will propose a dual licensing, the nyx compilation feature will upgrade the license to AGPL3
