Open O-Meter for Open Source Hardware

Description

"The open-O-meter is a simple scale from 0 to 8 where a product gets one point for each of the following aspects:

• design files are published;
• assembly instructions are published;
• a bill of materials is published;
• a contribution guide is published;
• the published CAD files are in editable format;
• the published assembly instructions are in editable format;
• the published bill of materials is in editable format;
• all this information is published under a license allowing commercial reuse.

It is simple:

• if a product gets 8 points, it conforms to the best practices of open source hardware.
• if a product gets 0 points, it does not seem to be open at all and should not be labeled as open source.
• if a product gets between 1 and 7, it is on it's way!"
