In other words something like a Cobb pro tuning platform except open source?

My question to sponsors (Shiv), how would you protect your flash tunes as you know once Napster idea takes off it will be have similar fate as MP3. GIAC does flash tuning but I think they encode your ECU so the code can't be copied / stolen (of course as with everything it will get "hacked" at some point).
I don't believe they plan on protecting their maps, which is a good move. I think they will use it as a way to deliver their procede flash which compliments their procede piggy.
