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

[Michael S. Hunt]

I tend to disagree about open source for the Elecraft radios.  Although 
it would be great for the few of us who may be inclined to reprogram our 
radios it would not be a good business decision for Elecraft.  The 
source code is the last unexposed piece of intellectual property that 
Elecraft has.  The design and theory of the radio are already open. 
 Disclosure of the the source code would leave Elecraft open to the 
development of cheap imitations and possibly allow a competitor to jump 
start their development.
