Open (i think) design for a parallel robot (reprap may be interested)

Again with my broken record about the spidery looking parallel robot...
I ran across this website which has what appears to be an open design:
http://www.laboratoryformicroenterprise.org/lme/LaboratoryForMicroEnterprise.html
It hasn't been updated in quite some time, basically because the guy who
wrote it got a job. In any case, this also appears to be compatible with the
goals of the reprap project. It seems that this design would be simpler to
build than a cartesian positioner, and since reprap doesn't require the
rigidity of a mill, this might be a more versitile design. Judging from the
stated intent on the website, the author might be willing to donate it to a
GPL type open license.
