So, I support bundling-in EtherCAT support, as long as we can be sure that nobody will be pointing their lawyers in our direction. However, one worry that we had in the past was that, whilst this organisation might be inside the Beckhoff "rules" if we join ETG, doing so might accidentally impose an unexpected (by them) licensing condition or restriction on our users. I don't know how real a worry that is. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
