Graeme,
don't forget those embedded Linux "machines" that are very popular
and common in the measuring industry. Definitively a commercial
market, and a no go with closed loop drivers.
Exactly -- it's the specs required to write the *driver* that need to
be open. We don't care if higher level information about the software
is closed. That's why we want hardware specs, not an SDK (SDK's
usually specify the interface to the driver -- in this case, we want
to write our own driver, which may have an entirely different
interface).
