Non-Distributive Open Hardware Enterprise

From Open Source Ecology

An enterprise that does not provide the blueprints for reproduction its business. It is essentially an enterprise that maintains a certain element of scarcity preventing easy, lucrative, and fun replication of itself - and thus does not contribute essentially to Distributed Market Substitution

Note that the Open Hardware Definition requires schematics to be open source, but does not require fabrication information, circuit layouts, or CAM files to be open source. Inherently, the Open Hardware Definition does not require the disclosure of production or business information that leads to Distributive Enterprise. Note that OSE's License for Distributive Economics DOES require enabling enterprise replication information. OSE collaborates with entities to make such information fully available and transparent, for the sake of creating post-scarcity economics free of Artificial Scarcity, as embodied in OSE's definition of the Open Source Economy

Distributive Enterprise discloses its full production toolchains, production engineering, layouts, CAM files, BOMs, and supply chain optimization information. See OSE License for Distributive Economics - Requirements
