Open source hardware license?

[swedishhat]

I think it's worth considering an open source hardware license separate from the MIT License since it currently applies only to intellectual property where where copyright applies (like firmware, schematics, etc.), not physical objects themselves.

As far as the particulars, we have a few options:

• CERN OHL
• TAPR OHL
• Make a Hashbang OHL (Do we need lawyer$ for this?)

This should probably be part of a larger discussion for all the projects that come out of the Space but Darkwing is a good test case for it.

From what I've read, if we want it as free and permissable as possible and don't necessarily care about putting in language that guarantees sharing (like GPL), MIT is probably sufficient. Closing for now until we find a reason to modify the license. It may be interesting to look into making an MIT-permissable license but for hardware (a la option three).
