No, we're not able to release it at this point.  Still, the basic
approach may be useful for other networks, especially if the parsing
and the checks performed by the tool are tailored to the policies of
those networks.  A more general solution (parsing all configuration
commands for all router products and supporting generic ways to
specify policy checks) would be great, though it would be a rather
ambitious undertaking.
