Particle as a Service?

Hi,

Is it possible (both in technical and legal terms) to use the Particle cloud from third-party devices? The full Particle stack would be too complex to reimplement of course but basic functions like Particle.publish(), Particle.variable(), Particle.function(), etc could be done with reasonable effort given that an API documentation is available. A library implementing these functions could allow any (or some, at least) WiFi capable microcontrollers to exploit the Particle cloud’s features, extending the range of available controllers to a much wider spectrum thus attract more users.

Thanks!
