Description

From the Open Design Foundation

"Any open design license should satisfy the requirements in the Open Design Definition [ODF].

The Open Design Definition allows any individual or organization to use an open design as an element in a proprietary machine, as long as they inform purchasers that a portion of the proprietary machine is an open design. The total machine remains proprietary, but redistribution of modified open design elements requires that revised design documentation be publicly available. An organization or individual can produce or sell an open design if the purchaser is informed that they are purchasing an open design and the seller publicly distributes or provides a simple path to all the design documentation."
