Open hardware can yield dividends (ITWire)
Sam Varghese talks
with Jonathan Oxer about open hardware. ""This is where one of
the interesting differences between open hardware and open software come in
- with open software it's quite easy to publish the source code and the
whole tool chain, like compilers or whatever else is necessary. You can
give everybody, at zero cost essentially, everything they need to reproduce
your work and to develop and build on it. With open hardware it's quite
different. I can give someone the design parts for a project but then they
need the actual materials or the tools and resources to reproduce it in
order to improve on it or collaborate with me.""
