Yes, when Andy's done with the layout, we're going to ask list members
review it.

But we may not publish it to everyone just yet.  It'll be under an
LGPL license, but we don't have to publish the "source" (diagrams)
until we sell our first board.  It's a competitive advantage
(potentially) to only let a few list members, under NDA, be the ones
to review it before production.

You're going to see this as a repeating pattern with Traversal.  There
are often advantages to keeping trade secrets, so we're going to push
the boundaries of open source licenses sometimes.  For instance, the
GPU will be under GPL, but not until some time (certainly less than a
year) after the ASICs go into production.  The IP for the OGD board
will be released "immediately", with the caveat being that not all of
it will be online until we have shipped our first batch of orders.

We also reserve the right to change our minds and release even earlier
than that.  :)
