That last bit really saddens me. As a digital artist that uses only floss tools for his work, I really wish a company that has so much influence over what the public sees when they look at us.
That said. Jane, your designs are amazing, and I would love one as soon as I scrounge up the money!

If I braid a wrist lanyard for my BNN which includes a means of stowing a ben-wpan device when it's not in use and I post to this list about it, does that qualify? What if someone modifies my design to be just a lanyard and responds to my message with their modifications? I really appreciate the designs that Jane shares. She is helping us to overcome one of the most difficult cultural hurdles we face in convincing the broader world to embrace open hardware and software: the overwhelming opinion out there that one needs closed-source tools to do creative work. The revelation that Canonical doesn't use their own OS for design work[1] has not done us any favors in this regard.
