It's been suggested that we apply the TAPR Open Hardware License to OGD1. As far as I can tell, it's like GPL but has some patent-protection clauses and make some other statements about manufacturing something you've licensed under OHL. Our main reasons for using GPL is that (a) we want anyone to be able to look at and use the source material and make their own (per the license), (b) require anyone making derivative works to share their changes, and (c) allow us as the original copyright holder to take money for non-open-source licensing of the product to anyone who wants to combine our design with theirs without releasing the changes publicly. Does anyone see any reason how applying the TAPR OHL would change any of that? If not, then I propose that we add the TAPR OHL as a license under which OGD1 can be licensed.
