What Is Open Source Hardware? Free Software Foundation certifies hardware that Respects Your Freedom. Open-source hardware. Open source hardware consists of physical artifacts of technology designed and offered by the open design movement. Both free and open source software (FOSS) as well as open source hardware is created by this open source culture movement and applies a like concept to a variety of components. The term usually means that information about the hardware is easily discerned. Hardware design (i.e. mechanical drawings, schematics, bills of material, PCB layout data, HDL source code and integrated circuit layout data), in addition to the software that drives the hardware, are all released with the FOSS approach.
Since the rise of reconfigurable programmable logic devices, sharing of logic designs has been a form of open source hardware. Licenses[edit] The RepRap general-purpose 3D printer with the ability to make copies of most of its own structural parts Rather than creating a new license, some open source hardware projects simply use existing, free and open source software licenses.[1]
OHR Meta Project - CERNOHL - Open Hardware Repository. Licencia de hardware libre « Fundamentos del Hardware. Se ha publicado la traducción de la definición 1.0 sobre la licencia de hardware libre: Declaración de Principios 1.0 Hardware de Fuentes Abiertas (OSHW en inglés) es aquel hardware cuyo diseño se hace disponible públicamente para que cualquier persona lo pueda estudiar, modificar, distribuir, materializar y vender, tanto el original como otros objetos basados en ese diseño. Las fuentes del hardware (entendidas como los ficheros fuente) habrán de estar disponibles en un formato apropiado para poder realizar modificaciones sobre ellas. Idealmente, el hardware de fuentes abiertas utiliza componentes y materiales de alta disponibilidad, procesos estandarizados, infraestructuras abiertas, contenidos sin restricciones, y herramientas de fuentes abiertas de cara a maximizar la habilidad de los individuos para materializar y usar el hardware. Definición 1.0 Introducción Los términos de distribución del Hardware de Fuentes Abiertas habrán de seguir los siguientes criterios: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Open Hardware Summit. OSHW - Definition of Free Cultural Works. This page hosts the current proposed Open Source Hardware (OSHW) Statement of Principles and Definition v1.0. The statement of principles is a high-level overview of the ideals of open-source hardware. The definition is an attempt to apply those ideals to a standard by which to evaluate licenses for hardware designs. To endorse the Open Source Hardware Definition 1.0, please add your name (and affiliation) below. Older drafts of the definition are also available.
Compiled community feedback from previous versions of the Definition can be found here If you would like to propose changes to the statement of principles or definition, please do so on the work-in-progress draft. Open Source Hardware (OSHW) Statement of Principles 1.0[edit] Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. Open Source Hardware (OSHW) Definition 1.0[edit] Introduction 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
