Paris-based firm Open Tools plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign for a printer that focuses on repairability and customization, with no restrictions on how users refill ink.
Open Printer will use the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license for all of its files, including electronics and mechanical design files, firmware code, and the bill of materials.
They will use CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Which means it’s not open source, and no-one else can sell replacement cartridges, parts etc.
It might still be a good printer and enjoyed by some, but it really annoys me when companies mix these terms up, almost certainly deliberately.
Isn’t it about documentation or design rather than code or hardware? Typically CC isn’t used for software or hardware.
