That is great that free hardware design exists and you have sent picture to mailing list that brings more reality about it. What I cannot agree to is to call it "open source hardware" as that is misleading, it is also contrary to "free software". As open source is not necessarily free software. There is a lot of confusion. Maybe you do not see it. Research. Term "open source" is also used as term for proprietary software with published sources. It is used for variety of products worldwide. It brings a lot of confusion in the future of hardware that is supposed to be free. Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
