I might be wrong in the case of hardware designs, but as far as I know, a copyright proprietor/owner/holder or a redistributor can choose not to publish the hardware design on the Internet and still be considered free/libre as long as he does one of the following:
* Provide a written offer together with the physical hardware that gives anyone the right to request the complete corresponding sources/designs at least for a period of 3 years after the product's date of publication. This assumes that the hardware design is under the GPL 3 "or later" license. * Provide the hardware design together with the physical hardware. There **might** have other details that I overlooked or forgot to study or mention, so please read the GPL 3 license for more information. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
