[Discuss] is intel edison open-source hardware?

[Nancy Ouyang]

Re: Galileo, Why can't they just stay away from the words "open source
hardware"? I don't understand what's so blinking hard about that.

I'm fine with Edison being closed-source and Intel protecting something
they spent a lot of resources on. That's because they* don't claim it's
open source hardware*.

Sure, I'm drafting a letter. I'm working on etherpad and will ask for help
editing soon.
