Are all schematics, BoM, PCBs released with open licenses? Is anything patented? Would you welcome other companies making compatible components?

I don't see any full electronic schematics/BoM in the repo; they don't tell you how to replicate or modify the electronics, just how to fit the form factor.
- snvzz 5y agoIt'd help to include a copy of the license, rather than a link to some other website. Legally, it is a bit of an issue as the linked license could technically change. Technically, it prevents github from recognizing CC-BY-4.0 as the repository license.
- nrp 5y agoGood catch, we uploaded a LICENSE file.
