Wow! I kind of figured that along with the new WPILib being open source there also would not be per-seat licensing for the new control system development environment. I guess it was naive of me but I figured that is why we would be getting a "custom" NI build. If there is, it is really going to negatively impact the way our team develops and unit tests software. Do you think that there will be license costs from both Wind River and NI? If that is the case, then there will be an impact to the teams that take the C route as well.
