Seestar, the GPL, and an open platform: Why hasn't that happened?
Now that we have official Seestar representation here, the standing question: Why isn't the Seestar open source, when it's relying heavily on GPL code for core functions?
ZWO was previously dinged for not providing source for the Astrometry.net plate solver, and I see you're using a newer version, with no updates to your github repo since the last time we did this dance.
When I called out that you were using the YOLOv5 neural model to operate the focuser, you just renamed it to something else, but it's still there, and you've added another in the 3.x train.

Even without that, this platform, as well as the ASIair, should be open source.
