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.

this should be enough for all to research and go from there ...
