HEY...... That's not nice!.... I know that developing take time... But EMC programmers doesn't charge for many hours they 'wasted'. ... and support and... ... .. If you have enougth money to buy $7000 machine then there is stupid think to save $97 here... But if you check what is most popular EMC2 usage then you (surprising) find out that the most is used on small bench mill's. And I think that mill's are homemade build and they are cheap. And over that $97 can be big amount to pay. So there are many builder wanted to make personal small mill with at low budget. If there are someone that start to earn money with own CNC then they soon realize that 'old one' is to slow, to unpresise, wear so fast.... and wil make or buy better one. So please make difference betwen hobby users and serious biznis use. The only EMC2 is cheap (free) for both. And I didn't say that Hardware need to be free! Just some PROVEN schematic. As I find no good EPP expander I just drawing one and wan't to do that. And schematic will be free. ... and I live in Earth.
