Summary:
- Open-sourcing a hardware project means doing 4 things:
- Creating a public repository where you upload your designs and documentation
- Allowing the use of your designs and documentation for any purpose, including selling the finished product
- Declaring a license - which shows the terms under which your documentation must be shared
- Developing a contributor community - making it easy for others to download, study, modify, and share improvements. Creating a public repository such as a wiki, website, or GitHub/Gitlab. Setting up a communication platform, such as Discourse Forum
