Thanks, this kind of perspective is useful for outsiders.

Quick comment: isn't "Free Open Source Software & Computer Aided Design" a pretty misleading name for a group that is apparently only interested in 3d printing firearms?

Agreed, but it came out of evolution - Cody's organization used to be called "DEFCAD" (Defense CAD), but it operated more as a company than as an open source initiative, so the community forked to "FOSSCAD" to indicate that's how they would be operating.

Maybe FOSSDEF would have made more sense but it's kind of too late now.
