Colin, I agree. While I have big reservations about the genuiness of the offer that started this topic, I would be personally excited by a commercial project that would use EMC2, while complying with its licensing.
The separation of control and GUI that exists in EMC means that we can have competing UIs, some of which may be more suitable to "machine operators" using them, as opposed to DIY tinkerers. As a DIY tinkerer, I personally am happy with the existing UI, though I wish for somewhat better integration of subroutines into wizards, along the lines of ngcgui. In any case, the best hoped for outcome would be that some large enhancements of EMC2 would make it back to us to be reused elsewhere. Say, machine builders would contribute to EMC2 to make their machines controllable by EMC. This is not very far fetched, since this is what happens to the Linux kernel. i ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
