I've updated my github for the Java-based Rbbg:

Whit was correct that I had a few commits locally to make the package work

As others have noted, this still does not fix your problem of needing a

IANAL, but you really should look at the licensing side of Bloomberg's data
offerings (terminal and SAPI).
