Re: TI and future Jaguars

I should also point out that if the community endeavors to make these things it's always smart to find applications for it besides just FIRST. The more of these things you make the lower the costs are likely to be and the more likely the longevity.

This is a public domain idea so hopefully if anyone is thinking about a trip down to a patent office someone will bother to look at this because it now belongs to everyone and anyone.

The only money that might be possible to make of this for a private business (outside of manufacturing it directly) would be to make a private module that does something the community doesn't have a module for. Then they've contributed to an open source project and let this serve as notice they will be required to disclose the use of the collective community work as part of their dealings.

Community in this case defined as anyone and everyone bundled into this project regardless of where it may communicate including Google Cache, TheWayBackMachine and these domains I bought in case we want them:

EMCPROJECT.COM
EMCPROJECT.NET
EMCPROJECT.ORG

EMCTURF.COM
EMCTURF.NET
EMCTURF.ORG

OPENEMC.COM
OPENEMC.NET
OPENEMC.ORG

I registered the alternate TLD (the last 3 letters) to prevent domain squatting.

Whether or not all the ideas I've presented I have an exclusivity on is unclear to me currently. However, I am considering my ideas openly donated this this particular project and the community involved with it.

Consider yourselves at the minimum GPLed .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License

Anyone with an objection to that particular license or whatever else about what I wrote in this post make it known please (let's not have some lurker suddenly selling this thing next month with a manual full of quotes from this topic then screaming we can't make them because they did first).

Also there's a Xen virtual private server (VPS) available to Linux host any or all of those domain if the community wishes it's currently empty. It's the same host that hosts: http://www.mort11.org/ It's my dime, however, if it goes that way assistance to maintain and develop is welcome always.
