Your mastery of the english language is truly daunting. ;-)

You seem to have missed the point of open source.  It's not, nor has it 
ever been, about saving money.  It's about scratching an itch.  Dave 
wants to build his own PCBs with a handmade CNC machine.  Awesome!  If, 
for nothing else, he'll understand and appreciate the manufacturing 
process better.  If there are improvements made to geda/inkscape/etc 
along the way, all the better.

Except to those of us who are trying to do that learning thing...

We all have to start somewhere.  Crawl, walk, then run.
