mac,
there is no problem at all. all are free to experiment, design pcb and
measure. all i am trying to avoid is sale of pcbs at a commercial level
that will come back to bite us. people are free to etch their own pcbs, or
make minima ugly style. your website serves a very useful purpose in that
regard.
unfortunately, there is a tendency among the kitters to sell kits that wont
work and we (you and i and the rest of the minima group) will have to keep
explaining that this is an experimental rig that wont work as 'advertised'
by the kitter. hence, my reluctance at allowing commercialization.
have a great day,
