Framework or app?

Hi,

I am the maintainer of the IoT/m2m framework VSCP & Friends 
(http://www.vscp.org) and I just found Snappy today and is really 
impressed but also a bit confused. VSCP and friends is a daemon, some 
developer libs and some utilities and some drivers written in c/c++ 
which abstracts hardware connected to the system. The daemon expose a 
number of interfaces to the world which in turn can be used to control 
the connected hardware. Drivers are used to abstract hardware into a 
common model that lets everything be configured in a common way, etc, etc.

Today a new driver is installing a piece of code with dependencys and 
then the system needs to setup a configuration for it specific to that 
system. Something that Snappy looks like a perfect candidate to do. My 
confusion comes from where a system like ours fit. Is it all supposed to 
go in a Snappy App and in that case how do I make it a package. Or 
should something like this be separated in two parts making VSCP a 
framework and the drivers, ui, etc that interface it all snappy apps. 
And in that case how do I make a framework for the core? Can I do that? 
Am I allowed to do that?

Yes confused as I said. Please help me understand.

Cheers
/Ake Hedman
