Interesting, I wonder if they contribute anything back to the community.

Mind you there is a fair number of companies and individuals (even some that frequently ask for help on this forum) that make a living using LinuxCNC without giving anything back to the community. Just recently I came across a company in the US that sells Linuxcnc 2.6 (!) installed on a mediocre PC for 1200$.

Yes and Tormach did actually contribute to the Linuxcnc source code some years ago.

Tormach also used Mesa boards for everything, they still do but i think they started making copies of them in some china factory, has to be confirmed though.
-
A big china company that manufactures automation stuff like robotic paletizers use modified LinuxCNC with a simple GUI for a small touchscreen. I dived into the inner workings and sure there where the hal and the ini and examples, all from probably 5-7 years ago. Had very limited time so could not get more info.

And there's this one:

www.apsx.com/apsx-nano-cnc-swiss-lathe

Nowhere do they explicitly mention LCNC.  It runs on "ASPX CNC software."

And yet...

All the g-codes, M-codes, etc. are identical.  Post processor is minor edit of the LCNC post.

Not sus at all.

From their PDF:
To set the speed of the spindle 0 to 1000 RPM, use M3 S1000 $0 (CW 1000RPM
for the main spindle) and to turn it off use M5 $0.
To set the speed of the spindle 1 to 10000 RPM, use M3 S10000 $1 (CW only) and
to turn it off use M5 $1.

And lower on that document, at the "plot tab" is Gremlin (the LinuxCNC visualization screen, not the small monsters from the movie :) )
Last page, board with parallel port, oh yes! :)
Still the price is not astronomical.
