[Elecraft] K2 control software

[Tom Zeltwanger]

Of course I do not want to write a VFO linearizer. If a Company releases code 
to the community, they only release what might be remotely useful. For instance 
they could essentially have an interface that would give you hooks to change 
menus, but not change the VFO linearization. That also assures that nobody 
could simply clone the hardware and have taken all of the intellectual property 
away. The cloners probably couldn't write their own linearizer without a major 
investment.
