Bare breasted lady on the splash screen makes application unusable in a production environment.

I'm really impressed. I really would like to continue its use. Therefore it would be great to explicitly list runtime dependencies for non maven users, i.e. to use the de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.ClassicMultiplexSocketAppender the following libaries are required at runtime (hopefully complete, however I experienced no problems so far): de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.multiplex-classic-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.multiplex-core-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.sender-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.sulky.codec-0.9.14.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.logging-adapter-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.data.logging.protobuf-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.sulky.io-0.9.14.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.data.logging-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.data.eventsource-0.9.41.jar de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.classic-0.9.41.jar protobuf-java-2.3.0.jar Furthermore it is not clear whether these runtime libs are licensed less restrictive than the lilith application (e.g. LGPL) so that it is possible to ship these libs with a LGPL or even commercial application. Last not least, to use the "Client-side" appenders as ClassicMultiplexSocketAppender in OSGi environments, it would be helpful to add OSGi meta tags (as sl4fj and logback do) at least to the libs required at runtime by "calling" applications.

Great product with very useful features such as filtering/searching for both files and socket appenders.
