Well so far it seems that the giving back part is what Andy found out 
and posted on the NYCCNC youtube comments as well.
Digging through the source code on git I really don't see any other 
major contribution other than the tool path rewrite.
And would gladly want to see a list of them contributions in its full. 
I've been an open source developer for over 15 years and
see this kind of behaviour all to often.

So atm i will stand by my comments, that Tormach is taking more than 
they are giving. (and are a bit of asshats for doing so).

For one, that UI would have needed some major rewrite, and is most 
likely not based upon Axis - its probably a toolbox that allows for dynamic
skinning and remapping of buttons and most likely easy modules for 
adding functionality, like tool changers.
And would be a neat part to be given back to the community to tinker 
with. Maybe not with its graphics intact but at least with button 
representations.
and some documentation. Following the GPL outline and so forth regarding 
releasing source code and documentation back to where they got it.

Oh well enough gasoline on that fire.
