It will probably be the case that OwlSight will be released under a
MySQL-style dual license: if yr project is open source, it will be
available under the GPL terms; if not, then a commercial license will
have to be purchased.

The primary barrier to any of that happening is that we haven't finished
OwlSight to a releasable state.

There are plans to add support for instance viewing; I can't say much
about them yet because they are inchoate, at best. Yr feedback is
invaluable, however. So thanks.

We intentionally ignore all annotation properties for now; it would be
possible to render rdfs:comment somewhere, but we haven't made any
decisions about that. Again, this is useful feedback.
