It's free for *now*.  Just wait until home fabbers/replicators become affordable.  *Then*
you'll see copyright laws applied to hardware.

Really, hardware is no different than the compiled machine code of software.  It's the result
of converting a design into the final result, therefore the final result, the hardware, is
*obviously* a derived work of the design.

Just wait. :)
