How about something based on the four Free Software freedoms? 0. Freedom to use the hardware for any purpose 1. Freedom to study the hardware and its design and adapt them to your needs 2. Freedom to build your own copies of the hardware and distribute them 3. Freedom to improve the hardware and its design and share your improvements There are actually two forks to these freedoms. One applies to an actual tangible implementation of the design, while the other refers to the design specifications. One is effectively a superset of the other. This is different from software in that recompiling and redistribution don't entail materials costs (or trivially so anyhow). So while certain kinds of 'duplication and redistribution' for hardware are generally impractical, they're at least allowed. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
