This is where we begin to have a chance to close the gap of poor wealth distribution - globally and locally.

			Some principles we follow are:

			#Publish all development work openly, not working behind close doors until product launch. We can still launch products, but invite collaborators throughout.
			#If something doesn't cost you anything, publish it for free.
			#Create revenue models by things that do cost you time, effort, materials: consulting, appearances, kits, special events, products, etc.

No. First we must start with the distinction - free hardware is free as in freedom, not as in free beer. When it comes to free hardware - we mean that the hardware is free. See [[Free Hardware]] and [[Open Source Hardware]].
