I don't think many developers actually use the forum. Which is quite a
shame reall. But then its not possible to issue emails or private messages
so it won't work..

Maybe a section in the forum where people post the work they want to have done

My original suggestion was that there should be a mechanism that allowed

I'm not a Linuxcnc developer and I'm trying hard NOT to become one. But
you do what you have to do so I will follow in your footsteps Reinhardt!

That's the point.
To be precise - the open source framework IS already copyrighted.
Just read the file COPYING from the project
I have no issues with my proposed paid development being made open source. But
I understand that others will have that issue. I would say that if that is what
the client wants, they have to accept that the work is based upon a open source

LOL - love it :D
I send this to a friend of mine who is actually looking for a new project.
It would boost lcnc in my opinion if we had someone being lead who is not
working for free. I mean the users are earning money with the software, why
shouldn't those who build it?

Well I have a bug on the table trying to extend State tags to include arc

I think, you don't understand opensource projects.
The main principle is voluntariness.
