	#'''The Last Mile of Open/Libre''' - this is the concept that work is published on an ongoing basis, not when the product ships. The former is accepted by the [[OSHWA Definition]]. The typical reason given for not doing this is that competitors can undermine your work.

OSE can facilitate this point by providing an example. A good example of Last Mile noncompliance is the seminal eco-computer project, [[EOMA68]], which prides itself on its high level of open/libre adherence.		#'''The Last Mile of Open/Libre''' - this is the concept that work is published on an ongoing basis, not when the product ships.
