[TenTec] regarding "open source" in survey

[ron]

 I have remained silent but did participate in the survey.

I find the survey sufficient and understand TT approach to such. Merely 
a study to procure interests in possibly designing their next radio(s).

However some have admitted to checking open source/software acceptance 
and rightly so.

To understand open source concept, I refer you to following links 
regarding this subject.
I find open source concept workable and reliable. One only needs to look 
at "Firefox" and "Open Office" among many others among them, Linux. for 
example, has matured into a reliable product used by many agencies, 
corporations, governments, servers Hollywood movie makers and of course 
in homes, as desktop operating system both in this country and across 
the world.
