Proper discussion never hurts for understanding =)

@J, then apologies to you. But you're still coming across as a big grump! :-P
Go here to see the forum categories, there should be one appropriate to your interests:

@J, you are misunderstanding what an ESC is. In Warthox's video title, "mwc quad // ultraesc + x2208 #2", it's the MWC which corresponds to the APM. Both are 8-bit, Atmel, Arduino based platforms.
If your argument is "whatever warthox flies is the ultimate controller, because warthox is the ultimate pilot" then duh, everybody's known that for years!
As a moderator here, I can assure you that diydrones is not a site for 3DRobotics, although they were both started by the same person (Chris). Information about this site is here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844:BlogPost:17789 . 3DR is in the process of moving their store to a new site as part of their expansion.
And as some friendly advice, try not to make strong statements based on minimal or incorrect information, and this forum will be much more informative and enjoyable for you.

I guess that nobody wants split development of PX4-project now, and current situation fully satisfy all.
But OpenHW law regulation is very complicated things ... =)
@J - sure is - and thanks - sounds interesting with the Felix guy, could you provide a bit more detail on where to find this german group?
@Jesper
After working in Cambodia for over 3 years I have plenty of ideas for what UAV`s could be used for with NGO`s and reporting.
When I get something up and running,I will post it up.
Well done, inspirational stuff!
@Phil: Please collect and share any good ideas - The world of UAV's and such is wonderful but without a mission it's nothing. I can't think of a more worthy cause than utilizing drones for NGO work. So get some ideas out there for people to work on :)

I think that "BSD licensing" (like) Open Software and Open Hardware term means free distribution, copying and use for any, including commercial, purposes, but still subject to all applicable copyright laws.
