One of our clients makes them, and at least the pieces of it we've worked on are running on FreeBSD already. A FreeBSD port would be possible if it looked cost effective. This is "regular" commercial software with the usual usage restrictions, though the client binaries are redistributable. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
