Well, C# and .NET in general are patented so they aren't free and
they're bad choices.[1] AWB depends exactly on the non-free
implementation of .NET, Microsoft's which makes it even worse. Any
other program will be nice, but a Python script will be the best
because I'll be able to adapt it by my own.
