He may like the idea of developer agreements and NDAs, I will report back.
Jesse, thank you for letting us know what the possibilities (or possible lack of possibilities) are on this pretty sizable ask. I certainly understand Steve's apprehension since the MRCC is based on a common microcontroller and opening up the firmware completely exposes the product to competition that would simply clone the MRCC and provide no value beyond that. That's always the terrible part of developing products like this that don't contain proprietary hardware or custom silicon to make the cloner's job more difficult. I will certainly respect Steve's decision on this whichever way he may choose to go. Again, thanks for updating us on this. You rock.
