Do you make hardware? Dabble with designing electronics? Open source hardware licenses considerations and thought starters…

  • What is not Open Source Hardware
  • Why “non-commercial” is a “non-good” idea for your project
  • “I’m afraid that it will get copied by a large conglomerate and sold cheaply to people!
  • “I’m afraid my project will be used by some big company without proper credit or attribution!”
  • I would like to sell my project as a product and I’m scared of someone becoming a competitor!
  • If you keep your project “non-commercial” it is less likely to succeed and evolve!
