Engineers propose open source for hardware
A cadre of hardware developers is trying to bring concepts from the open-source software world to the hardware business. Engineers around the world, connected via the Internet, are seeking to develop a vast library of freely available hardware designs, similar to how Linux developers and other open-source programmers share intellectual property. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/ne...080214,00.html |

If open-source drives down the cost of hardware resulting in computers, periperals and networking equipment costing less to purchase while maintaining industry standards, and a high quality product, then I think its a good idea and something worth considering..
If anything, regarding cost and quality are potentially compromised, then I don't think its a good idea. |
