You
need
to
be
very
aware
what
is
happening
in
the
open
hardware.
Movement
I
know
that
the
Enable
Alliance
and
they
naval
community
often
think
of
themselves
as
people
who
use
open
source
people
who
maybe
give
themselves
as
practicing
research
that
allows
us
to
collect
open
data
or
to
practice
open
science.
But
you
need
to
understand
that
we
are
also
viewed
by
the
open
harbor
community
and
with
some
of
the
solutions
that
are
being
developed.
Our
open
hardware
solutions.
A
C
Nashwa
has
done
in
more
recent
years,
is
developed
an
open-source
hardware
and
certification
program
and
the
reason
the
certification
program
is
it
exists.
Essentially,
is
because
no
one
owns
the
term
open
source
hardware,
and
so
we
found
that
there
was
a
lot
of
confusion
in
the
community
when
people
were
saying.
Oh
I'm
doing
this
thing:
it's
open
source
hardware
and
creators,
open
source
hardware
was
different
than
the
user
definition
of
open
source
hardware,
and
so
there
could
be
a
kind
of
mismatch
of
expectations,
and
so
with
the
certification
program,
does
the
certification
program
is
free?
C
Is
it
allows
people
to
get
certified
and
complying
with
the
community
definition
of
open
source
hardware
and
use
a
special
logo?
That
means
that
they
can
say
I,
say
open
source
part
I
made
this
definition
and
if
you
maybe
using
open
source
hardware,
I
know
it
doesn't
aircon.
So
we're
going
to
Dolphus,
there's
a
certification,
a
certification,
not
off-road
work,
unless
you
check
it
out.
C
One
of
the
side
effects
of
this
crucification
program
is
that
it
is
starting
to
help
have
standardized
elements
of
open
source
hardware
and
documentation
to
make
for
the
people
are
including
everything
in
their
documentation.
That
would
allow
someone
outside
of
their
immediate
community,
to
be
able
to
understand
and
use
the
hardware,
and
one
of
the
things
that's
come
out
inside
has
been
the
sort
of
licensing
process.
This
licensing
standard
a
and
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
that
we're
at
a
place
where
we
to
standardize
licensing,
but
we
are
slowly
but
surely
moving
in
that
direction.
C
The
thing
to
understand
about
open
source
hardware,
licensing,
in
contrast,
an
open
source
software
licensing,
is
it's
a
little
bit
more
complicated
than
essential.
Smoth
where
is
is
born,
is
born
and
closed.
Right
is
all
automatically
moment
it's
written
wrapped
up
and
copyright
protection,
and
so
you
are
a
creator
software
that
you
want
to
arabic
people
you
need
to
take
affirmative
steps
to
eat,
reflect
people
to
share
it,
which
is
to
use
it,
but
open
software
license
that
I.
Give
you
formal
legal
permission.
Do
the
software
and
copy
this
software.
C
C
Great
okay,
but
you
know
those
saying:
you're
open,
open
software.
Software
is
this
or
foreign
clothes,
and
so
you
need
to
do
y
ccp.
Let
people
use
it.
I'm
hardware
is
born
open,
which
means
that,
by
default
in
a
lot
of
ways,
people
are
already
free
to
dole
upon
that.
And
so
what
that
mean?
The
city
and
on
some
level,
is
if
you're
doing
an
open
hardware
project.
C
You
don't
do
worry
as
much
about
licensing
because
a
lot
of
ways
you
don't
have
a
legal
rights
to
control
other
users,
but
licensing
can
still
be
really
important
because
there
might
be
kind
of
small
hidden
things
that
you
do
have
rice
soup.
That
could
get
in
the
way
of
someone
who
wanted
you
to
build
upon
the
hardware
part
of
the
project
and
also.
C
The
licensing
serves
as
a
signal
to
people
who
wanted
to
want
to
use
the
hardware
in
ways
that
by
the
creator's
want,
and
so
when
you
think
about,
we
think
about
open
source
software
licenses
in
a
lot
of
ways.
Those
licenses
mirka
throwing
bad
actors
we're
thinking
about
open
source
hardware,
licensing.
What
you're
really
thinking
about
is
creating
a
signage
of
guideposts
for
good
actors
who
want
to
do
what
you
as
a
creator.
C
What,
with
with
things
you're
making
as
to
the
last
point
that
I
make,
is
that
when
thinking
about
other
than
these
Hardware
more
complicated
as
or
pieces,
and
so
when
you're
thinking
about
licensing
your
hardware,
you
just
think
about
some
different
components.
You
think
about
it's,
the
resin
separately,
you
just
think
about
the
hardware
itself
and
how
your
licensing
to
the
hardware,
the
software,
if
there
is
any,
have
your
licensing
is
up
where
the
documentation
for
the
hardware
as
a
separate
entity
and
then
also
the
any
trademarks
or
other.
C
You
know
marks
you
have
for
the
hardware
itself,
as
you
go
to
the
certification
to
go
to
certification
on
a
short
amount
or
a
disability.
The
certification
there
are
some
resources
that
walk
through
each
of
those
different
steps,
those
different
elements
and
explain
how
to
think
about
how
different
like
write
them
buy
into
them.
Also,
if
you
don't
really
want
to
spend
too
much
time
thinking
about
it,
show
you
the
choices
that
things
that
have
already
been
registered.
The
projects
and
party
wrencher
have
made,
and
you
can
actually
look
at
the
registry.
C
C
C
So
the
first
thing
you
would
think
of
is
so
there's
no
software.
We
have
to
worry
about
the
software
for
the
hardware
for
the
hand
itself
is
unlikely
that
there
are
the
creators
of
the
hands.
Have
any
copyright
intraday
the
hand
probably
is
not
protected
by
copyright,
and
so
the
license
license
on,
but
the
hardware
itself
probably
wouldn't
allow
you
patrol
other
people.
What
does
it
mean
to
control
their
people?
C
You
think
about
it,
a
kind
of
classic
copyleft
license
this
is
you
can
use
this
software
as
long
as
your
the
changes
that
you
make
are
also
moving
more
like
a
CCE,
share-alike
kind
of
license.
A
license
like
that
on
hardware
of
the
hamp
is
probably
not
enforceable,
that
somebody
could
make
a
modification
dot-
O'bannon
and
you
would
not
have
a
legal
right
to.
C
Enforce
them
all,
but
if
you
were
a
good
actor
and
you
want
to
follow
those
wishes
community,
that's
created
this.
You
should
think
about
contributing
back
there.
The
next
layer
there
is
going
to
be
documentation
itself,
so
kind
of
like
separate
indistinct
from
that
name,
though,
is
all
the
documentation
on
the
files
thinking
about
sharing
those
and
commons
license,
so
people
can
can
remix
and
build
upon
that
documentation
is
really
important
and
then
and
I
know.
This
is
a
point
of
attention
or
believe.
I
know
this.
B
B
A
In
some
cases
he
was
selling
the
hands
and
donors,
and
there
the
cases
he
was
giving
them
away.
Sometimes
he
would
even
on
the
open
source
design
and
that
he
would
claim
the
open
source
design
without
giving
credit
to
the
people
who
had
created
the
design
that
was
based
on
so
I
was
asked
to
go
to
the
embassy
of
this
country
to
speak
with,
the
science
have
a
shake
while
I
was
in
London,
and
they
asked
me
to
bring
designs
and
timeline
in
order
to
defend
the
intellectual
property
of
the
open.
B
B
A
We
created
a
platform
and
an
alga
room
using
blockchain
to
create
an
immutable
timeline
so
that
there
was
another
point
of
reference
that
could
not
be
changed
by
any
of
the
parties
so
that
they
were
able
to
use
that
immutable
timeline
to
our
our
stand
on
one
of
the
designs
and
created
and
shared,
and
that's
what
we've
been
using
since
then.
Do
you
have
any
comments
or
responsible.
C
I
think
it
really
is
any
may
be
really
helpful
to
think
about
this
on
two
related
but
separate
tracks,
there's
a
legal
track
and
there's
a
community
track,
and
so
from
a
community
standpoint.
There
is
an
expectation
within
the
community,
like
you
said
that
people
give
at
a
minimum,
give
credit
back
to
the
project
and
that's
what
I'm
talking
about
what
I'm
talking
about
good
actors
right,
someone
who
wants
to
follow
the
community
rules?
It's
really
important
to
make
those
clear.
C
So
someone
wants
to
follow
the
rules,
it's
easy
for
them
to
do
so
and
to
really
encourage
them
to
do
it,
and
if
they
don't
in
some
cases,
it
is
appropriate
to
use
what
I
give
is
the
community
sanctions
right
to
like
clean
out,
but
this
person
is
violating
the
community
rules
and
the
expectations
by
using
the
design
and
not
giving
credit
that
is
completely
separate
from
the
legal
ability
to
force
someone
to
do
something
and
in
most
cases
with
something
with
a
functional
object.
Like
a
cross
in
hand,
there
is
no
intellect
property.
B
C
There
are
no
intellectual
property
rights
in
the
hand,
and
so
you
probably
don't
have
a
legal
right
or
someone
to
comply
with
the
community
rules
if
they
don't
want
to
report
that
be
really
right
about
that,
because
you
know
timeline
is
helpful
in
the
sense
that
you're
going
to
be
you
wanting,
you
may
want
to
use
it
to
enforce
the
community
dorms
or
socially,
but
it's
not
necessarily
legally
relevant
because
there's
no
equal
barrier
to
someone
just
taking
it
as
I
do
whatever
they
want.
So.
A
There
are
other
forms
of
open
hardware
that
are
being
developed
by
members
of
this
community.
There
are
people
who
have
been
working
on
solar
power.
There
are
people
who
are
working
on
using
the
3d
printing
and
the
skills
learned
in
enable
projects
to
develop
other
things
that
are
needed
at
New
Hope
hospital
in
Haiti.
They
created
all.
A
Are
being
used
in
the
community,
open
harbor
applies
to
Moynihan's
and
applies
to
the
jigs
that
you
were
creating
that
Jake's
members
shared,
and
it
applies
to
the
tools
that
are
being
developed
at
woodland,
music
collection.
It
applies
to
the
people
who
are
using
the
workforce,
skills
and
techniques
that
they
are
learning
and
teaching
people
through
the
service-learning
and
enable
and
use
and
those
projects
that
are
being
carried
forward
like
enable
and
lightness
in
Sierra
Leone.
That's
solar
powered
project.
A
I,
it
applies
to
the
people
who
are
learning
how
to
grind
up
waste
plastic
and
extrude
new
filming
bag,
extrusion
process
and
the
tools
being
used
to
monitor
and
test
and
spool
are
all
things
that
are
part
of
the
open
hardware
movement.
So
there
are
probably
a
dozen
things
that
you
have
touched
in
the
past
year
that
this
automatic.
