When I was looking for the eVY1 Shield[1], I noticed it has an EULA. The shield is based on proprietery technologies where Yamaha holds software patents. But there are other addons that one can use in freedom. One example is the FSF endorsed RAMBo[2] circuit board. An you can design your own Arduino Shield with Fritzing, which is free software. There is a service called Fritzing Fab which produces professional PCBs out of ones Fritzing designs [3].
