You want layout files? You think there's something wrong with Ettus

that you are free to hire your own engineer to make your own layout
from Ettus' free schematics. Then after you pay for that you can put
your money where your mouth is and put those layout files on the web
under GPL. You'd be the big hero who put Matt in his place.

Because one possesses the schematics doesn't mean one can make their own
layouts. All Amateur Radios come with schematics but I don't see droves
of people copying their product. Repair shops are filled with
schematics of devices but yet I don't see them selling bootleg copies
out the back door.
That's why people buy the product.
And that's why Matt deserves the props and profits he gets.
But for the longevity of an open source project, some files should be
released such as this. Look at the RepRap. All the pieces can be
reproduced from the board level up to the bracket.
And before we go personal here, let's not discuss your project and how
you're working other people's efforts to your advantage.
(For which I'm a supporter of...)
