Just a precision, in Brazil the API is open source too. Now, the only 2
usable implementations are Java closed source (though decompilable). The API
isn't trivial at all to re-implement (at least 10 000 lines of Python
required, not to say SOAP + Python + authentication can be a nightmare). I
bet this is rather on purpose (to protect monopolies) rather than pure
stupidity.
