Actually we won't even earn a profit from it. We design and invent, then hand it off to help a few low-income inexperienced entrepreneurs team up with an experienced social entrepreneur, and they'll coordinate with a community of people and vendors openly to share and increase knowledge. </span>

As a firm believer that OSHW includes anything we physically make (from electronics to tractors to tables to rockets), I love the idea of open sourcing even just part of the process for food that is currently very proprietary (and it sounds like they will be sharing their recipes and meat processing procedures as well).

<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
And, I am reminded that as OSHW grows as a movement we will see more and more need to address regulatory issues like this. So far this year, this is the third regulatory hurdle I have seen in open source arenas, including

Is anyone else facing these kind of regulatory issues or know of someone who is? Do folks think there is a way we could pool our resources to work on how the OSHW movement can efficiently and effectively address regulatory issues?
