I guess we will have to agree to disagree... I feel like MANY MANY people have given freely of their time to make linuxCNC into what it is today INCLUDING things like User interfaces and many many other add ons that make the program so enjoyable and stable to use. They gave of it freely and willingly and I thank ALL of them for their efforts. If you ask me ANYONE who takes that work and changes it and makes it better for whatever reason owes it to all of those who came before to give of it freely. ESPECIALLY if you intend to put your name on it and profit from it! I really do not understand the lack of interest in pursuing this here. I appreciate that they paid for the work on the TP but again that is something added to the collective work that MANY MANY others have done. I think the least they could do is to make it available to the community as a whole in some shape or form. I am sorry but I have to disagree with you here.. Peace
