Open Source hardware must be iterated many times.
Typical story:
Joe Open Hardware Hero builds a prototype. He gives up after one or few prototypes.
Jasmine takes over, and begins to reinvent the wheel - the last version was never completed.
This happens ad infinitum - while Billy the Proprietary Man continues to enjoy sales of his closed hardware, into which he threw the millions up front necessary to get to product release.
The Joes and Jasmines of the world end up collectively spending billions. And they still can't produce a single damn product!
This is Collaborative Waste at its finest.
