Makernet
Is this open source?
Email from founding team implies it is, but there are conflicting messages:
Hello,
I am working on makernet.org, a solution for sustainable OSH businesses. It’s a git repository for hardware (with proper licenses like CERN OHL 2.0 soon, 2D and 3D preview and conversion), with a store front and a manufacturer database, and allowing designers to be paid. We think being able to set up successful businesses is a key part in making OSH grow. MakerNet is also set up as a business to make it sustainable.
We are in beta and still have a lot to do and figure out, but we’d like to work with you and host the OSE projects for people to be able to order the manufacture of them. As you already have deep insights and exposure to OSH your feedback would be very welcome, and we’d be more than happy to solve some issues that you may have (do you have a public list of your current issues and targets?).
Let me know what you think and how/if MakerNet can be of help.
Thanks

Question after watching your video - you imply that the designs are OSHWA compliant, which means free to produce without royalties, but your intro video says that customers pay for designs. How is this consistent with the OSHWA definition?
