It was public from the beginning. Jayeson made it after I asked on FB if anyone could/would do so. I sent him the interface information and a working original sample, and eventually a whole not-quite-working model 600 as a gift (shipping to AU was worth a lot more than the M600 even if it was fully working), and after a couple revisions he emailed me gerbers as well as created the oshpark entry, I built a set and tested them in a working M600, alone and combined with an original module in the same machine, and found no problems, posted some pics of my completed units and gave Jayeson permision to use them in his oshpark entry. I asked if someone wanted to design it under some form of open source license right from the outset. Didn't have to be public domain. I actually would have liked gpl or some version of cc-with-attribution myself, but public domain is certainly "gpl or free-er".
I already articulated the concern, and the lowness of it's level, as clearly as I could. What part of "They are not violating any actual laws, because this pcb design is explicitly placed in the public domain. It's just that it would be at least minimally considerate to give a little attribution where they got something from." failed at that? It ain't the end of the world, but does something have to be the end of the world to talk about it? On Mon, Feb 25, 2019 at 11:11 PM Stephen Adolph <twospru...@gmail.com> wrote: > Never mind.
