@idiot @Zergling_man @ThatWouldBeTelling @mangeurdenuage @sun Well next step would be somewhat trusted foundries (fablabs but good? :D) in the style of distros because let's face it, not everyone wants to have that in their garage, nor can take the time to build those things.

And I don't think the hardware part should be anywhere near gratis, heck even back when distros needed floppies/CD/DVDs to be shared around you'd pay for those (which is one of the many reasons why libre software must also waive commercial rights).
