I don't have an oar in this water, at least not a grip on the handle that 
steers, but it seems to me that doing that would be about the same as 
publishing the recipe for Neiman-Marcus's chocolate chip cookies.  LinuxCNC 
would lose the versatility advantage that it seems to have over the 
"Competition".

Would that be a huge advantage?  What language does one program this ROS 
in?
