The definition is derived from the Open Source Definition, which was created by Bruce Perens and the Debian developers as the Debian Free Software Guidelines. Videos and Documentation of the Opening Hardware workshop which kicked off the below definition are available here. Please join the conversation about the definition <a href=\"http:\/\/openhardwaresummit.org\/forum\">here.<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">Open Source Hardware (OSHW) is a term for tangible artifacts &#8212; machines, devices, or other physical things &#8212; whose design has been released to the public in such a way that anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use those things. This definition is intended to help provide guidelines for the development and evaluation of licenses for Open Source Hardware.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">It is important to note that hardware is different from software in that physical resources must always be committed for the creation of physical goods. Accordingly, persons or companies producing items (&#8220;products&#8221;) under an OSHW license have an obligation not to imply that such products are manufactured, sold, warrantied, or otherwise sanctioned by the original designer and also not to make use of any trademarks owned by the original designer.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">The distribution terms of Open Source Hardware must comply with the following criteria:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><strong>1. Documentation<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">The hardware must be released with documentation including design files, and must allow modification and distribution of the design files. Where documentation is not furnished with the physical product, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining this documentation for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The documentation must include design files in the preferred format for making changes, for example the native file format of a CAD program. Deliberately obfuscated design files are not allowed. Intermediate forms analogous to compiled computer code &#8212; such as printer-ready copper artwork from a CAD program &#8212; are not allowed as substitutes. The license may require that the design files are provided in fully-documented, open format(s).<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/freedomdefined.org\/OSHW\">Read the full definition here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OSHW Draft Definition 1.0 is based on the Open Source Definition for Open Source Software<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[142],"class_list":["post-2008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-open-hardware"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Open Hardware Definition 1.0 RELEASED!
