In fact I meant both,especially the PPMC.
Erveryone wants a open solution, but I think you're right only some people 
have the ability to build the boards at home. The engineers have the 
possibility to build it, and don't want to buy something,because of speciall 
wishes,so the wohle think is invented more than twice. Open sollution,perhaps 
like StarOffice (consists of the free OpenOffice, and the not free Database 
Adabas and some other stuff) costs money, so the main part open, and special 
thinks to buy. So perhaps you could still sell them, because the most are not 
able to build it, and other who are able can contribute good ideas and 
solutions.
