Here’s my take on the situation: Since anyone using an open-source  
library to send transactions to Vital can potentially modify the code,  
they are essentially becoming Vital developers. I have a feeling that  
Vital might want to have anybody using such a library to get their own  
certification to go along with it, before they start processing. From a  
security standpoint, that’s not a bad thing.
