Cool BurrMan, back to the topic, Honestly don't give a monkey's were the code comes from as long it does the job, the same way I don't care if someone believe that Parasolid is better than Solid++ etc.
I have been to few conference lately including Shape to Fabrication in London UK and Architectural Geometry in Vienna, Austria. Without doubt There is big demand for Sofware that combine Nurbs and Subds.
