To the contrary. The ICD2 clone builders don't need the interface at
all, the only need the bootloader interface, which seems to be well
known. They ship the clone with the bootloader, and MPLAB downloads the
real debugger firmware. You of all people will appreciate this scheme :)
Having the ICD2 debugger interface available would enable alternate PC
software (Linux or otherwise), which can only increase the demand for
ICD2s (original or clone).
