It is invasive to users of the library to send usage information, especially the username, host ip, host name, os and version number. Given that the server to which this information is being sent is located in France, this collection also almost certainly runs afoul of EU laws on handling personal information: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/data-collection/legal/index_en.htm

Dear John,

You are perfectly right. By doing this, our goal is to get some statistical information of who's using it.
You can disable this behavior by invoking

GrphWebNotifications.enable = false;

before you make the first reference to the Grph class.
