If an individual or a business wants to contract a developer to do work for them then I don't see a problem with that. They can then choose whether or not they would like to contribute that back to the LinuxCNC project although it would be preferable if they did so.
I don't think that LinxCNC as a community should be paying developers nor should it have a commercial arm/entity or whatever you want to call it. _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
