Open source hardware | Open source hardware's technical specifications must be made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on this information. The hardware's source -- the design from which it is made -- must be made available in a format conducive to making modifications.Β Ideally, open source hardware should use readily-available components and materials, standard processes, open infrastructure, unrestricted content, and open-source design tools to maximize the ability of others to make and use this hardware. Open source hardware gives people the freedom to control the technology and share knowledge and encourages commerce through the open exchange of designs. | ||
