Make PIC code open source (was: [Elecraft] Next?)

[Juerg Tschirren]

Making the PIC code open source would be a very good idea in my opinion. =
I=20
hope the KPA100 / FCC  issue mentioned by Dan is not a real problem, and =
if=20
it is then it may be possible to just keep the KPA100 - related parts=20
closed-source, and open everything else.

  It would be great to hear an official Elecraft statement about the=20
open-sourcing idea.
