Well Scott that is a curious decision. Would you care to share your
reasoning? Does this mean anyone can load up a PIC to be an OOPic
without royalty?

I will be curious to know how this effects your income in the longer
term.

Randy:

According to <http://www.oopic.com/> , he says:

A note to my customers:
Due to economic downturns, I have taken full time employment elsewhere.
Therefore, I have decided to open source the ooPIC interpreter software
under GPLv3. More...

Thanks for the note Wayne. Not that I can't relate. We've been in a
long slide, and the competition is fierce. I would have thought
selling out might have been a better option. Each faces their
decisions for themselves.
