The EULA is a bit odd. You require that (1) all files included in the
resulting software package be included, and (2) the source code to the
library be shrouded. These seem to be mutually exclusive goals. You also use
the words "personal use" and "development" as if they were equivalent, but
it's clear that this isn't your intent.

The documentation says "I'm poor - give me money!" all over the place, from
your e-mail address (netzero), requesting Euphoria dollars, requirement of
payment if used in a real application, and so on. This is a bit distracting.

More problematic, the documentation fails to give a feel for what the
library is like. No complete examples are given, nor is any explanation of
what "exploit the power of OOP solutions" might mean. After reading through
the documentation, I'm still left wondering why I'd want to add all this
complexity on top of Euphoria. What problem will using this library solve?

Including a cool demo application that demonstrates features difficult to
accomplish without your library would be a good thing.
