Why? They put a lot of work into this and are giving the plans away. They just don't want you to compete with them. It seems fair to me.

- TaylorAlexander 10y agoWe all work hard on the things we make. But many of us open source those things so that others can make them better. When we restrict commercial re-use, we're hobbling the project in certain ways. What if someone wants to help make it better, but they want to earn money from their improvements? You can still license the code with attribution and share alike. That way people know you designed it, and you get to use the improvements other people make. It's okay that they choose a non commercial license. But it may make me less interested in supporting it. But I'll check out their PCBs and see if I can help make any improvements. I like this project.
