Personally, i would think they should provide it publicly... but still, they were selling the full PathPilot on a USB stick for 35$, so i can not be angry at them.

I am sure they did provide it several years back, but only on request. Did you try shoveling and e-mail in their direction?I don't have the time nor money to sue Tormach to get it.

I think the issue might be there is copyright on the GUI so it would not be wise to share it. The ethical solution is to buy their source code. Or use one of our GUI's. QTdragon is a pretty good substitute these days.

Or just incorporate their better planner into linuxcnc, if someone does have the source.
The planner would be GPL. We have no interest in stealing their product, just some of the underlying code. In fact the updated planner we have came from them.

@Morley,
Or just incorporate their better planner into linuxcnc,
I have looked at this. The way lcnc uses it's planner is far of path pilot uses it's planner.
And this seems not to be their latest planner. So integrating is not easy as my first attempt failed.
We have already a new planner wich is tested. It's also tested on plasmac yesterday by Joco,
but that test was not showing the probe sequence. So i have to look at that soon. As i am working
on a different subject now.

I'm also only interested in reviewing their TP changes, I couldn't care less about their GUI.
Grotius, could you please consider sharing the emc sources (the src/emc directory)? The GPL grants you this right.

Then they gave me a second address. I sent another cheque to that address. USPS bounced back the mail as the address was invalid.

I actually asked them. They wanted me to send a $10 cheque to some address. I did. After a few weeks they told me they never received it.
