Having options is great for the community, there is no single right choice for everyone.

That's sort of dancing around the issue isn't it? So tell me, if I came to you as a paying customer and OFT had all the features you think its needs minus the ability to lock a tune file, would you tune my car with OFT?

No? That was exactly my point.

I didn't mean to imply you have an issue with open source tuning, just simply that you think your tunes are akin to your intellectual property and the rights to it should be limited to the consumer. Its not that I necessarily agree or disagree with you, but everyone who probably actually considers a custom tune understands that its specific to their car and that sharing those tunes probably wouldn't be in other owners best interest. Regardless, I simply don't understand why custom tuners wouldn't want to unlock their tunes for the people that actually paid for them can have full access to what they paid for. People that are actually going to spend the money on a custom tune are going to get it done anyway instead of trying to get other peoples tunes.
