is able to build an application that other Omnidrive users can then use
with their Omnidrive storage. The only requirement is that each user of
these applications have their own Omnidrive account, other than that
there are no restrictions as to what can be built with the Omnidrive
API. For Open Source applications and for Free applications, the API
and client toolkits are available at no cost. There is a license fee
for commercial applications." (excerpt from Omnidrive.com)
