WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE

Limor Fried discusses why she creates open source hardware. She started by releasing early projects like SpokePOV and Minty MP3 as non-commercial to share her learning, but others derived and sold copies without contributing back. This led her to fully publish designs as open source hardware using share-alike licenses to build an open community where people contribute improvements for the benefit of all. She continues open source hardware work to join a collaborative community, ensure her creations outlast her, and improve her own engineering skills.
