@henk@waag.social I don't see how you can prevent that. Arduino was a concept created by 4 people. At a certain point they decided they were fine with selling it. And they did. They owned the concept and sold it. The only people who could have safe guarded the "open-hardware ethos" were the creators. The only way to "future-proof models for open-source hardware" is to forbid inventors from selling their inventions. Does that sound like a legitimate option and something that will encourage creativity?
