Developing an unofficial SDK/Driver for Intel RealSense Camera

Is it okay to develop an unofficial open-source SDK/Driver like OpenKinect [ https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect/ ] ? I believe it would encourage more developers to work on this to make cross-platform applications. I myself can't get the Realsense SDK to work on my computer, which is pretty old. I'm concerned about the legality of it.

Although I would love to have an open source and cross platform driver for this great camera, I don't think the current terms and conditions of the SDK and the loaned camera approve this.

Having said that, the raw data from the camera is available through the official SDK. Try the raw streams demo, and you should be able to get depth, color and IR data out of it.
