Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Huh, wanted Gcode files...??????

Tcnc is open source in that the source code is available to the users.

I'd call it "source code available" more than anything else.

It ISN'T open source in the sense that I can't make a bunch of
improvements and release them to anyone who wants them. The author of
tcnc has total control over the source code and its release.

If I am wrong on this, please correct me.
