Sorry, i have to disagree with you there.
Everyone, even if they dont realize it, is interested in portability. I bet everyone wishes they could have openecu drivers for their PDA. Imagine being able to log without waiting for the laptop to start or being able to flash and log without asking your passenger to sit in the back seat. I noticed that colby included Eclipse.org in his credits. That means at least part of the development was done using java. Java is basically platform independent, that is, universally portable.
I think the reason the source has not been released, and probably wont be public, is that people are evil and they will not just modify it, they will then distribute the modified versions. This leaves colby to blame for if their modifications cause havoc.
If we want to change the way ecuflash works, we will probably have to build it the way we want from the ground up. Which of course takes forever.
