From now on, we can call it "Open tuning" if the term "open source" upsets anyone.

I don't feel right about purchasing a product that calls themselves "Open Source"
unless you are using an open source software license, which you are not.
This opens up the tune to be edited, yes, but there's nothing open source about this really IMO.
I was perfectly fine with you calling it "open" tuning but "open source tuning" is a huge misnomer and gives people who are involved with open source software a bad feeling as this isn't an open platform at all. It just cracks the ecu and allows you to edit it, which is good, but nothing about that is open source.
