Code for Wevolver is not open source. Will open source over time.
- Currently are opensourcing the versioning of projects. You can clone a project, and push back to original owner.

- Selling components by linking to suppliers and services. Or sales from product shipping on the platform on the website. So not only assembly, but purchase as well. Transaction is in Wevolver. And be transparent about it. Also manufacturing services, such as 3D Hubs integration. Governance - Don't be Evil.
