True.

Looking at the source, OpenTLD is based on Matlab which is of course a closed 
source, commercial application. A single commercial license starts at € 2000 
for the base package (Austria). For that reason: While certainly impressive, I 
don't think OpenTLD can be considered an option.

Distance calculations would be done using a different approach and are not part 
of this project.
