Why switch back to open source? After the license fee is paid cost is the same.

Buy a second-hand standard ecu? Then you're covered if you decide to go back to Ecutek.

License stays with car. Have to be a full map if you go somewhere else, but not have to oay the fee again

Do some mappers not lock the ECU, to prevent others mapping it?

All depends on the mapper.
As above ECUTEK is far superior with support. Open source is normally unrefined and little to no support.
If you really want to change swap the ECUs thus not to loose the licence or run the risk of bricking an ECUTEK ready ECU.
