NDOUtils is released under the GPL license, so you can certainly resuse
parts in your own module if its GPL. I think all modules need to be GPL
anyway, since they require linking against the NEB module stubs.
The NEB API won't change too much in the future. A few more calls will
likely be added to support event correlation (per John R.), but other
changes will be minor. Any change which is major will cause the
CURRENT_NEB_API_VERSION in includes/nebmodules.h to increase, so Nagios
won't load your module if it isn't compatible.
