<br>
here's a cursory review of some of the boards from <a href="http://arduino.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">arduino.org</a>. there are some missing files/licenses we looked for but could not find.<br>
<br>
Arduino Primo: <a href="http://www.arduino.org/products/boards/arduino-primo" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.arduino.org/<wbr>products/boards/arduino-primo</a><br>
"Schematic & Reference Design - Coming soon"<br>
<br>
there's also firmware burned onto the STM32FL103<br>
<a href="https://github.com/arduino-org/arduino-core-nrf52/tree/master/firmwares/primo/stm32" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/arduino-<wbr>org/arduino-core-nrf52/tree/<wbr>master/firmwares/primo/stm32</a><br>
but unclear where the source code for that lives or what license its under<br>
<br>
Star Otto: <a href="http://www.arduino.org/products/boards/arduino-star-otto" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.arduino.org/<wbr>products/boards/arduino-star-<wbr>otto</a><br>
Only Schematic posted, no license indicated, DogHunter logo is the only ownership note<br>
<a href="http://www.arduino.org/images/tutorials/ARDUINO-STAR-V31-Schematic.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.arduino.org/images/<wbr>tutorials/ARDUINO-STAR-V31-<wbr>Schematic.pdf</a><br>
<br>
Arduino STAR - LCD <a href="http://www.arduino.org/products/accessories/arduino-star-lcd" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.arduino.org/<wbr>products/accessories/arduino-<wbr>star-lcd</a><br>
No technical files.<br>
<br>
Arduino YUN MINI: <a href="http://www.arduino.org/products/boards/arduino-yun-mini" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.arduino.org/<wbr>products/boards/arduino-yun-<wbr>mini</a><br>
Only schematic posted, no license indicated, DogHunter is author/owner<br>
<a href="http://download.arduino.org/products/YUNMINI/Arduino-yun-mini-schematics.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://download.arduino.org/<wbr>products/YUNMINI/Arduino-yun-<wbr>mini-schematics.pdf</a><br>
Schematic black-boxes "WiFi module" despite it being an integral part of the board and designed by Arduino.org, not a submodule<br>
<br>
Arduino LUCKY SHIELD: <a href="http://www.arduino.org/products/shields/arduino-lucky-shield" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.arduino.org/<wbr>products/shields/arduino-<wbr>lucky-shield</a><br>
Schematics have no license indicated, DogHunter is author/owner<br>
EAGLE files: arduino-Lucky-Shield-<wbr>reference-design.zip links to a PDF of the gerber print with no Eagle Files, DogHunter/Linino is author/owner<br>
<br>
some of these are new products so perhaps it takes some time, however some are from 2014, 2015 or 2016:<br>
<a href="http://download.arduino.org/products/LUCKY/SHIELD_LUCKY_V032_20150224_SCH.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://download.arduino.org/<wbr>products/LUCKY/SHIELD_LUCKY_<wbr>V032_20150224_SCH.pdf</a><br>
<a href="http://download.arduino.org/products/YUNMINI/Arduino-yun-mini-schematics.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://download.arduino.org/<wbr>products/YUNMINI/Arduino-yun-<wbr>mini-schematics.pdf</a><br>
<br>
1) are these products open source?<br>
2) if so, where are the open source files?<br>
3) if not, why is it not open source?<br>
4) PDFs are not considered design files:<br>
<a href="https://www.oshwa.org/definition/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.oshwa.org/<wbr>definition/</a><br>
"The hardware must be released with documentation including design files, and must allow modification and distribution of the design files."<br>
5) the owner/author of many of these is DogHunter/Linino, not Arduino, why is that?<br>
<br>
we emailed the arduino folks (Federico Musto, Fabio Violante, Daniela Antonietti) to get clarification and where these files are located for the open-source hardware and software products from arduino.</blockquote></div><br></div>
