No, Open Source only means what it says. You have access to the code and
can change it if you want. There is no requirement that it be written

That is obviously the Gremlin backplot. I thought the GPL was pretty
clear about linking to GPL'd libraries and software that could not stand
on its own without the underlying GPL'd software. What am I missing?

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.
When you do derivative work in accordance to GPL you are supposed to
publish
your alterations with the source code in its full for other to do
derivative work off of that.
(In Accordance with the GPL licensing form, even the LGPL has this
clause and is clearly stated.)

If latency is good enough or not to a large extent depends on which part is the

Here's a quick video announcing PathPilot from NYCCNC, an active garage
shop machinist with a big YouTube following whose channel is sponsored
by Tormach.
