Re: Any news?

"Open Revolutiion" is just a marketing name.

The only eCCR with open source that I am aware of is the published GPL'd K1 code and PCB files.

AD_Ward and I went around on this a few months ago, and the conclusion was that OR is not open source / open design - its a marketing name for exposing the validation protocol(s) used in the design to public scrutiny.

Now that is in and of itself a fairly significant thing (and a first in the industry), so in no way is this an attempt to "slam" AD_Ward and what they're doing - but its not "open source" - its a full-on commercial product full of trade secrets, just like all the others out there.
