Yeah, the Ultimaker has never been as open source as any of the previous
MakerBots. MBI shared far more than just the electronics and the wood
files, and at least with the Replicator they didn't restrict commercial
re-use (not familiar with the licenses on the others).

I'm not happy with what MBI did but I'm not happy with how UM is treating
open source either.
