I think you're missing a key point here. No one as far as I know is saying the beaglebone black can not be used in a commercial product. Once someone buys a board it is theirs to do with as they wish. What I've been saying is that whoever does use the beagelbone black in a product assumes full responsibility for doing so. Support ? Availability? - Everything. All their problem from that point forward. As it should be. Does this mean no one would try to help at all ? I would think if someone could help - they would. Out of good will. But legally, or even morally there is no obligation. As the board is not sold as, or priced as a commercial product. One thing I am a little unclear on: Is *if* the board is even allowed to bear the beaglebone logo at this point. I think not, but maybe I'm wrong?
