In case you're wondering, everything was at the front because he was trying to hit a price point for DIYers, and the custom-cut end panels were a big line item. By putting everything in one panel, the other could be left unaltered at a savings. You can certainly argue that it was penny-wise pound-foolish, but that was the reasoning at least. Also a more liberal license would have allowed things to be moved around, true, but it wouldn't have been an O2 anymore - the routing of the board is very important to its performance. I think perhaps a better choice on the licence would have allowed derivatives, so long as they were renamed significantly.
