Synergy looks a bit like Ez-trol but I don't see any free copies of
Synergy being given away or links to the source code... only a 30 day
free trial.
Perhaps we have a different idea of what is "Public Do

This is correct, if they "distribute" the software in any way, they are

Trademarking doesn't do much other than allowing someone/thing to take
some ownership of a name to make sure that someone else can't openly use
the same "name".
Remember when EMC2 became LinuxCNC? That was due to what EMC saw as a
trademark infringement. (Which I still think was BS.. )

Your logic falls apart when
DISPLAY = PathPilot
yet PathPilot *includes* the Gremlin display.
It further fails to pass muster when the headline reads:
Introducing PathPilot™, Tormach’s new machine controller
rather than:
Introducing PathPilot™, Tormach’s new GUI for LinuxCNC
...especia
Has any of these guys read ""Just for Fun"" or ""Rebel Code"" ?
Trying to corner open source is a failed strategy.

There is actually a universal "drop-in" made by Nick Drobchenko over at
the russian site "cnc club"
He calls it "Features", and it a veeery flexible conversational..

Hi Erik,
You, and at least one other person, are definitely missing my point.
I'll take the blame for not expressing myself properly. I'll try again.
I am not disparaging Tormach. At all. As I've said, I believe their
switch to LinuxCNC will be good for them and for their customers. In

No, it makes no difference whether a contractor works on-site or off -

Remember the email list conversations that Rob and you had with the
Mach3 crew a while back?
That now puts those conversations in an entirely different light.
If you want a great discount on a slant back lathe or small mill, now
might be the right time to speak up! :-)
