The obstacle is production. If I publish software, it automatically 
exists, if I publish hardware it does not. Every single piece of hardware 
must be built (in series production if it's going to be affordable) and at 
the complexity and massive costs of the Qx0, this means commercial 
production.

Unfortunately one can't materialize mainboards by a uploading to a website 
or burning a CD.
