Yeah, that's why I said nxserver.  I almost commented about not being 
able to ship a client, but decided not to as I know nothing about the 
general state of the knx.  At any rate, Getting the server included 
would be the most important thing.  Even if they could legally do it, I 
seriously doubt that, say, Fedora or RHEL, would include the proprietary 
client.  Just the server and an easy way to generate and distribute keys 
would be just fine.
