[Discuss] Publish OSHW with CC0?

[Eric Thompson]

I don't recall exactly what he said during the interview but I seem to
remember that Ian from Dangerous Prototypes talked about this during an
interview on The Amp Hour podcast.

If you look at the Bus Pirate documentation, it lists the PCB art and
Firmware as CC-0.
