swiss pairing software open source?

#1

Since available FIDE certificated pairing Software like SwissManager (https://swiss-manager.at/) is quite expensive and proprietary: Is anyone interested in making one open source? The underlying pairing engines https://github.com/BieremaBoyzProgramming/bbpPairings or http://www.rrweb.org/javafo/JaVaFo.htm are already GPL licensed and open. Implementing the logic around is no big magic.
