[Discuss] Favorite OSHW Linux computers?

Sorry for the confusion - You're correct, NC is not open source.

To clarify: when talking about no licensing on this is specifically *on the
hardware itself*. And wether or not we can even license without a patent,
so applying the definition sets your intensions rather than using a license
or in addition to using an open license.

When talking about design files that *can* be covered by copyright
(schematics, code, drawings), yes they need to be licensed openly without a
NC clause. Do NOT put no license on your code or your copyrightable stuff
because it will default to copyright.

Cheers,
Alicia
