The difference is free cad doesn't compete with anything in linuxcnc. Qtpycp does. If they wanted to be included in linuxcnc, then they would have been part of the project. They made a choice. Otherwise as I said you are undermining the hard work of the devs that are active in our project.

My motivation is to bring the best of Open Source CNC on Linux together to help myself and others. And from what I hear and see, this includes PyQtVCP. You may have a point for the minimal version of that .iso, but for the full featured one it should be in, also FreeCAD and inkscape.
