Dear All,
I am currently planning to start a open source hardware project. I wold like to licence my project under GPLv3 and i have a few query in the GPLv3.
I have read the licence and i believe that GPL does not restrict me in the above two cases but i just need to have a second opinion, why second make that a lot of other peoples opinion
.
If there are any other Open Hardware licence available let me know. (The CERN and TAPR seems to be less evolved in my humble opinion).
Thanks
Regards
Gokkul
I am currently planning to start a open source hardware project. I wold like to licence my project under GPLv3 and i have a few query in the GPLv3.
This product i am planning is a solar charger
1) The hardware i am planning is open source (i will upload all the source and design file online in a repository). Does GPL restrict me or any one else from manufacturing and selling this product?
2) This charger will interface to a led light and a battery, though the charger is open source hardware the led light and the battery are not (they are ready made product brought off the shelf). Does GPL restrict this in any way (interfacing with a proprietary products)?
