Ep. 24 - Open Hardware Licenses ft. Thea Flowers

Open Hardware Manufacturing Podcast

What does it mean to license something in a way that works for you and your project? Does this fall under copyright or a patent? (The answer may surprise you!)

The president of the Open Source Hardware Association, Thea Flowers, stopped by to school us on open hardware licensing, and it was much needed. We start by going over the scope of permissivity regarding licenses, beginning with the most open type of license available and progressing from there. There is a lot to unpack here, so get ready to get educated!
