I am sure that they will release the controller code at some time. There is no real money to be made from the controller. It just means that they sell their machines easier. I convert machines and build new machines and I do not charge for the software. I do charge for my time to set it up. The profit comes from the machine. I am sure that Tormach has the same situation. I just dont sell enough machines :( One has to realize that as with all things, if someone does not make money somewhere down the line, the interest will dwindle soon.
