Re: Open-Source FIRST

I am fully in support of all of this. I will do whatever I can to help you. Open source alternatives are necessary!

One thing that we really cannot get around, however, is MCC. MCC is NOT free software. Microchip will almost certainly not make an open source alternative (or even a unix or linux alternative) to MCC. It will certainly not do open source because they're making money off of it and it's really basically their only source of income. As for a linux or unix non-open source alternative, I don't know, but I would be willing to help you in any way I can!
