How open source has changed the hardware environment
While open source software is a relatively well-known concept by comparisons, the idea of open source hardware isn’t quite as publicized.

• Redistribute the design of the device and the device itself.
• Enhance the design as well as the device and make those improvements freely available to the public so all can benefit.
