@ThatWouldBeTelling @mangeurdenuage @Zergling_man @lanodan @sun Free Software was built by a bunch of guys sharing software and building on top of it. The correct answer for Free Hardware is sharing schematics, drawings, and BOMs, and assembling the computer/printer/whatever together your own bad self.
The problem is that Electrical Engineers with a love of freedom are a lot scarcer to come by than programmers. Even if the FTC ruling doesn't get overturned and there's no more non-competes ever again (rest in piss), you're still asking a professional engineer that gets at least six digits to work in their spare time for free.
