What Hacker News says

I am unwilling to accept an SDK's license in order to view my own data produced by my own hardware. So, a couple years ago, I wrote a bash-wrapper [1] to Suto's perl FIT-parsing library [2]. With a quick search, I see that others may have extended Suto's work [3]. I'm pro-Garmin but can't understand hiding a measurement instrument's output format behind a closed-door license.
