Open-source hardware makers get 11 standards
The open-source hardware community, that has products such as the Chumby multimedia gadget among others, has received its first set of standards recently. Dubbed the Open Source Hardware Draft, it's in version 0.3, and includes 11 rules. This includes documentation, necessary software, derived works, free distribution, attribution, no discrimination against persons or groups, no discrimination against fields of work, distribution of license, not limiting a license to a specific product, allowing use on other hardware or software and making the standards technology-neutral.
