Project Objective
- Development of a smart frugal metering solution, for a smart world: “Smart Blitzmerker: Bring your own Device - Get your own Data ( BYOD - GYOD ). Smart frugal metering solution, for a smarter World”.
- About the project name “Smart Blitzmerker”: “Blitzmerker” is a German word, means somebody with rapid comprehension. “Blitz” is German for lighning, or photo flash, and you see meters must get some light before we can take a photo. So first photo flash or some other light on, then take a photo, and then light off to save power consumption
. Smart Blitzmerker is then name, as unfortunately Blitzmerker is taken in the Internet, while “Smart Blitzmerker” was free, i.e. not yet used, no hits by the search engines.

- Reason:
- To be compatible later with EN.Wikipedia "Qt (software)", EN.Wikipedia "Qt (Bibliothek)" and PySide.
- There might be other licenses for special distributions, e.g. where a major component or runtime has another license, and we have to provide our software just as part of this component / runtime ( e.g. an Android app runtime of a special programming language like Tcl/Tk or Python, with its special license ).
