So in the process of protecting parts of EMC2 from being stolen for closed
source use. We have closed the door for any closed source from
CONNECTING/COMMUNICATING (software wise) to EMC2 ?
Thats kinda Ironic!
I'm sure that I am simplifying the situation.
What is the overall ideology of EMC2's use ?
It does seem a shame to have such great software and hard work
not be allow to really rule the world. so to speak.
If a company wanted to build a front end GUI as closed source
and connect it to an open source machine controller and sell the
whole thing that seems to be good for us.
Sounds like Mach did this without keeping the open source- open.
The more people/compannies who use/work on the software the
better it should be. As long as the important parts are not closed.
Again food for thought. I find it interesting and important that
everyone know the overal ideology.
