That’s pretty much the idea. I’m already aware of licenses issues.

I already played with these and my idea was to write something like
doodle with a FRP style and OpenGL. That’s my main project these days,

Ok, it seems ok for my needs, but I’m not in a hurry about that so I
have the time to think about it.
