Re: [Trisquel-users] Should free hardware have warranty

[jeremiah]

The hardware design probably should not have a warranty; that would just be  
asking for trouble from anyone who tried to build it. If the designer  
manufactures and sells the physical hardware as well, it would make sense for  
him/her to warrant that the unmodified product will work as intended, at  
least for a certain period of time, just like any other hardware manufacturer  
does. Doing so probably wouldn't place him at any disadvantage, but not doing  
so -- as you mentioned, if I understood correctly -- would place him at a  
disadvantage in comparison with his/her competitors.
